Issue with widget panel after upgrading to a new iPad

I recently upgraded from the 2016 iPad Pro to the 2024 iPad Pro M4. I migrated everything from the old iPad during installation. It transferred my widgets panel which I can access the same way as the old iPad (swipe right from left side of screen), but I can’t find where to change the widgets that appear and there is no edit button when I scroll to the bottom of the widgets like there is on the old iPad. The first screenshot is what appears on my new iPad when I swipe from the left. The second only appears on my lock screen and I know where to edit those.

Since I can’t edit the panel that transferred over from my old iPad, it makes me wonder if the old widget panel is interfering with the new one. If so, how can I either fix this OR edit the widgets that appear when I now swipe from the left (first screenshot)?

To add, remove or arrange your Widgets, from the Widgets view, simply touch-and-hold any empty area of the screen; the widgets will "wobble".

While the widgets are wobbling...

tap the "+" button at top-left of the screen to Add a new widget.
tap the "-" button that appears on each of the existing widgets to remove the associated widget from the view.
simply drag the widgets with your finger to your preferred location on the screen.
tap the Done button at upper-right of the screen when you're finished editing.
