Unable to activate FaceID on this iPhone

Hey, I have an iPhone XR I bought, that won’t work with FaceID. I didn’t know this before buying but opened it up and can’t seem to find why. I took out the battery even, just to see what could be the issue, and I can’t seem to figure out why. I believe the module is authentic, but at the same time I’m not sure how to tell. I listed a bunch of pics below. Thanks!

costs upwards of 300 for repair from apple and most of their shops won’t advertise the fix so you’ll need to go in and get a quote (we did this at work for research and found nearly every shop gave a different price so if this is the problem shop around) if it isn’t a genuine one paired with the phone it will never work,  on the older models at least there used to be a tiny apple logo on most of the connectors, if there’s nothing on it like a serial no. or logo it probably isn’t, there normally marked with something.

Apple pairs the FaceID module to the phone. If the module is replaced, FaceID won’t work, and there’s no way to repair it without the original module that is paired to the phone. Apple can repair it, but it’s costly.
