  • switched data between 5G only, 5G auto, 4G
  • checked with network provider who confirmed who confirmed I should have mobile coverage

There is nothing that can be done on an iPhone. The data roaming should have been activated by your carrier when you were in the local area network. Once travelling, the data roaming can be enabled by the same Carrier only if they have network coverage in the area where you are. roaming. The same is true for International Roaming.
