Unable to answer calls in clock mode on iPhone 13 Pro

My iphone sits on a charging stand in clock mode (horizontal). When a call comes in I can see the buttons to accept a call but when I pick it up so that I can hit a button to answer it, the buttons disappear and there is no way for me to answer it even though it is still ringing. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. iPhone 13 Pro ios 18.3.2

In case anyone comes here in the future with this problem I found the answer. When the buttons to answer disappears there is a tiny phone icon in the upper left corner. Click on that and the slide to answer slider will appear.
