My iPhone e-sim registers as an android

A while back I was messing with my SIM card and put it in my old android phone and ever since my messages have been green. This isn’t exactly the biggest problem but it can be annoying. I recently bought the iPhone 16 which was an upgrade from my 12 mini and I was hoping that it would just fix itself, but it hasn’t. Any ideas on how to fix this?

iPhone 16, iOS 18
