iPhone MagSafe Animation not Showing

I own a 16 Pro, and when I charge my iPhone on a third-party MagSafe charger, the MagSafe animation showing my battery percentage does not show up. I remember it popping up the first time I placed it on the charger, but afterwards, I can now only see a signal on the dynamic island instead. Where and how can I re-enable the animation?

iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 18

Do you know what the power output of the 3rd party charger is? The charging plug needs to be at least 20w and the charger itself needs to output at least 15w for the animation to appear consistently. The animation isn't something you can turn on or off. The charger needs to output enough for the animation to occur.
