You cannot directly change the notification alert sound for individual third-party apps within the iOS main settings menu. Apple manages notification sounds globally, meaning third-party apps either use the system Default Alert sound or rely on their own internal settings.
If the app lacks internal sound options, you can take advantage of an updated automation trigger in iOS 27that detects incoming notifications:

The settings you are referring to do not exist in iOS 27 they were present in previous versions.
