Mac will not connect to iPhone hotspot.

My iPhone still won't connect to my Mac. It says my iPhone is not in range or hotspot is not turned on. I have followed all the steps online but still no luck. Any tips I can try to get this to work. I use my hotspot for work and this is causing me so many issues. I have an iPhone 11 Pro max and a macbook air if that helps


Thanks!

MacBook Air (2020 or later)
