Can't change my name (greyed out) on ID Verification.

Rencently I chaged my name [from nick name (ibrahim khalid) to Real name (atif Zulfiqar)] and now when I go to ID verification it doesn't let me change name (screenshot attached) due to which I am unable to verify my ID.
Moreover it also doesn't let me change my profile picture.

Thanks.Profile pic won't changeProfile pic won't changeReal name on profileReal name on profileOld name showing on ID Verification.Old name showing on ID Verification.

Thank you Nikola, Profile Photo is changed but other issue is still same i.e. My name "Atif Z" is showing on profile but when I go to ID verification, Previous name "Ibrahim Khalid" is still greyed out and can't be edited.

I will be thankful to you if that is resolved real soon 🙂
