I found Silent Mode, it did not have anything under DoNot Disturb. Now I just have to figure out how to put it back on the top little button?
Thanks for your recommendations.

"Silent Mode" is a completely different thing than Focus/Do Not Disturb. Silent Mode use the button on the side of the phone above the volume buttons. I think we've been answering the wrong question.


You need to go to Settings>Action Button and select Silent Mode.


Use and customize the Action button on iPhone - Apple Support

The top left button is your Action Control button, which has several options, one of which is Silent Mode. Is this what you're referring to? If yes, open Settings > Action Button > Slide through the options to Silent Mode and exit settings and the top left button will silence your phone.
