My lightning headphones connect, but the sound still comes from the phones speakers

I just got my iPhone 13 Pro 2 weeks ago. I got a new pair of lightning headphones to use with with them. When I plug in the headphones, a beep comes through so I know they connect and are capable of sound. But, when I try to play music or YouTube videos, the sound still comes from the speakers. Is there a fix for this, or do I need to buy another pair of headphones?

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 15

Update: I plugged these new headphones into my girlfriends iPhone 11 and they were immediately recognized. I know the port to my 13 works because it charges just fine.
