Turn off lost mode on my iPhone with broken front camera and requiring FaceID

Hello, I lost my phone, put it in lost mode. It got found, I activated it again and wanted to login. However turned out that most likely a car drove over, it is still working despite the camera. When trying to login my PIN works but my FaceID does not, which means I can not get the phone out of lost mode. What can I do, need to get access so I can restore it.

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 18

Sign in to the iCloud Web interface and see if you can turn off Lost Mode enter.

I did, actually at first, and on iCloud it says it is not in Lost mode. Then I go on the phone, type Pin and end in a window stating Face ID is required to take it out of lost mode. At this stage I can connect it with my Mac only to see a message that the phone is still in lost mode....as the camera is broke I can not use Face ID....this is a real issue as I can not even backup now as there is no way to get connected
