Face ID reset not working

I keep trying to reset my Face ID and it either tells me to reposition my face in the frame or says my face isn’t in the frame when it is. Just started to not work yesterday. I did all the troubleshooting suggestions but to no avail. What gives?

iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 18

If Face ID isn't working for you, there is most likely something wrong with your TrueDepth camera. First, look at these two articles for help. If that doesn't fix the issue, then make an appointment at the Genius Bar to have your camera issue diagnosed.
