It is completely normal. It may take some time before the phone number is registered. I experienced the exact same thing yesterday when I updated to iOS 16.3. So my advice is, wait a bit.
You can also "restart" the process, do the following, go to:
Settings -> Messages -> disable iMessage
Then, go to:
Settings -> FaceTime -> disable FaceTime.
Turn off your iPhone, wait a bit, and turn it back on. Go back and enable iMessages and FaceTime and just wait - the number should register.
I also see that you have no bars in your signal strength. Is your SIM card connected and have you entered the PIN code so that the phone number is activated?
