You could be in a location without 5G coverage.

As others said, the make & model will tell us whether or not the phone is
capable of 5G radio frequencies, and then any cellular debugger will tell
you the signal strength of the 5G frequencies in any given area.
I ran Skyica to find something that might help the OP debug & found this:

Which says it allows you to check whether the 5G is Sub-6, millimeter wave,
diverted 5G, or anchor band (but I'm not even sure what anchor band is).
Some phones can be set to 4G only or 5G only mode, where, if desired, these
kinds of apps can be used to manage which mode the phone is locked to:

And, of course, the very many cellular signal strength debuggers we've
discussed umpteen times on this newsgroup in the past would also tell the
OP if there's 5G in his area (if his phone has a 5G radio, that is).
