Why is my iPhone 15 Pro Max wallpaper appeared zoomed in?

I have read some posts that said I have to open the pictures in the iOS photo app and crop it to the correct aspect ratio. What's the correct aspect ratio? I cropped my images in Adobe Lightroom because that's the majority of my photos came from. I have cropped it to 19.5 by 9. Isn't this the "correct" aspect ratio?

iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 18

Can’t crop wallpaper. What to do If you can’t pinch or move a picture to the scale you want for your wallpaper? On the iPhone 12.

Why is my iPhone 13 wallpaper in the right aspect ratio still getting extended? I made custom wallpapers for myself that were in the right aspect ratio (9.75 x 21.1) for my iPhone 13 and they all work perfectly well except for 1. When I zoom out to have the entire background visible a fade is applied to the top of the picture and when I try to turn off the extended wallpaper the wallpaper zooms back in. I have checked a few times that this is the right wallpaper size and all my other wallpapers work correctly. I will attach a slightly edited version of the wallpaper to this post.

After you select a Photo for your device's wallpaper, crop and move your photo, pinch and drag your photo.
