iOS 26 liquid glass clock on lock screen appearing dark when it's supposed to be bright

This is on both my iPad and my iPhone.

When I am on the edit screen, the liquid glass clock and the two buttons at the bottom of the screen appear bright. As soon as I press "Done" and return to the lock screen, the liquid glass clock and the buttons on the bottom of the screen become dark.

I am not in dark mode; I have restarted my devices; both the iPad and the iPhone have been updated from iOS/iPadOS 26 to 26.0.1. The issue persists.

This issue also only occurs on this specific wall paper.

This has been acceptable, until when the sleep mode is turned on. The entire wallpaper darkens and blurs, making the dark liquid glass clock almost impossible to see. This really annoys me because I genuenly like the bright liquid glass look and I think it fits really well with my wallpaper.

If anyone has a solution, please let me know. Otherwise, I'm just hoping this gets fixed soon.
