iPhone 17 max pro no alerting me when asleep

I just upgraded to the 17 Pro Max from the 16 Pro Max. Everything ported over correctly. The only problem is I get zero alert sounds when the phone is asleep. I have checked volumes, focus times, and alert settings. Everything points to the phone making a sound when I get a text, email, or anything. Yet it sits here on my desk silent. When I pick it up, I have missed several messages. When the phone is open and i am using it, it dings, but not when asleep.

restart it. Then update it. Maybe something is wrong with it and it thinks the screen is facing down?

Is there any chance you wear Apple Watch?
