How to fix depth effect on wallpaper not working on iOS 16?

If your wallpaper doesn’t have enough space at the top of it, it will not work. Apple will only allow a small portion of the clock to be covered up. I am sure it’s because they want you to be able to still tell the time. With that said, even wallpapers you think should work with Depth Effect sometimes do not work.
