Since you have cropped your image from the top, the status of the iPhone is unclear.
If it’s been saying “Update finishing in the background” for more than 3 days, that’s not normal. It should’ve been completed within a few hours at most.
first lets try a forced shut down.
rapidly press the volume up then volume down botton then keep holding the power botton until you see the apple logo.
If that doesn't stop the update then try downgrading IOS it could be a bug. Go to ipsw.me and navigate the site to your iPhone which in your case would be the IPhone 15 pro max and then selecting IOS 18.3.2 and downloading the ipsw onto your computer, once its downloaded open iTunes or finder whichever your mac uses for connections to your IDevice and plug your IDevice in, then hold the option key while you click on update which will pul up a finder page and you can select the ipsw file and let it do its thing. Make sure you backup beforehand incase something goes wrong. You may receive a warning confirming your choice to roll back the IOS to an older version.
This should clear the message you are receiving.
