Control Centre icons missing

Hey, I recently purchased a new m5 MacBook Pro, and during the handover from my old Mac I had to interrupt it, I restarted the process later and it seemed to work fine. Everything works apart from two things. Control Centre icons are missing, and Shortcut Actions are missing. I've tried redownloading macOS 26 and restarting and changing the language and region according to some other posts. I have all the required apps downloaded so not too sure what the problem is.

MacBook Pro (M5, 2025)

Thank you, but that's not the problem I'm having. I can get all those but when I add them the icon is displayed as the App Store icon, and it won't let me click on it.
