Number on iMessage and Facetime

I can't seem to get my iMessages and Facetime to go through my number. I recently got a new iPhone and kept my old number but it took a while to load up with the phone, and so my iMessages and Facetime run off a number I do not use and have managed to get "rid" of the number from the 'Name, Phone Number, Email' section but it still shows up as options in the Messages and Facetime tabs in Setting.

How do I get my old phone number reconnected to my iMessages and Facetime and how do I properly get rid of my non-use phone number from my apple iD?

iPhone 12
