Issue with adding on the Dynamic Island

When I add a photo to my Dynamic Island it keeps showing that it’s loading. It doesn’t go away. Can you fix this issue please.

Bugged

Won't let me use it to open apps or run shortcuts. If I try to create a shelf to do those things as soon as I try to pick one it closes out before I can pick one.
