Have you tried doing it in a space with better lighting? Here's what Apple says about setting it up: "Make sure nothing is covering the TrueDepth camera or your face. If something is obstructing your nose or mouth, such as glasses or a face mask, you may be asked to remove these items temporarily during the setup process." Here are the specific steps if Face ID isn't working: If Face ID isn’t working on your iPhone or iPad Pro – Apple Support (UK)


Hope some of this helps!
