Removing “White Blur” at top of Lock Screen

Upgraded my iPhone 8 to a 15pro max. No matter what photo I choose for my Lock Screen the phone adds this ridiculously stupid white blur to the Lock Screen that makes it impossible to see the top bar and battery life, If anyone knows how to make the phone stop the white blur I’d greatly appreciate the “how to”. Thank you.

if it is not working as expected, I would return it for one that works as expected new out of the box...
