unable to tap Back Up Now tab

Trying to back up photos from iPhone XS Max to computer. Tried all suggestions. The phone shows up on my computer, but unable to open to look at DCIM/photos. Says it's empty, which it's not.

Now tried to manually back up using iTunes. The "Back Up Now" button is not highlighted so I'm unable to tap it. Need help, as I have lots of photos and videos on my phone.

iPhone XS Max, iOS 15
