Cannot add widgets in lockscreen on iphone SE 2
iPhone 6s, iOS 15
Update. I tried changing my SE 2 Lock Screen wallpaper to one of the stock Apple wallpapers. Widgets appear! Change Lock Screen wallpaper back to my favorite image, widgets disappear. At least for this iOS update, you can only add widgets to a limited number of wallpaper images.

Hey ArturoSCL.

With iOS 16, you can add widgets to your Lock Screen to get information at a glance — for example, the temperature, air quality, battery level, or upcoming calendar events.
If there’s not enough room for a new widget, you can tap the Remove button to remove a widget and make room for the one you want to add."

I just installed iOS 16 on my iPhone SE (2021) specifically for the Lock Screen widgets. (Documentation shows that the SE second generation is comparable with the new iOS.) Then I followed the instructions to customize the Lock Screen. After pressing on the Lock Screen, I get the option to “choose new wallpaper,” but there’s no option to add widgets. I searched for widgets in “Settings” but couldn’t find anything. I checked that my software was up to date (iOS 16.0.2.) After an hour of searching I still can’t locate how to install Lock Screen widgets on my phone. In fact there’s no mention of widgets anywhere on my phone. Suggestions?
