I can't speak about Samsung Messages, but for Google Messages

open the app,

be on the conversations summary screen, not a specific conversation

click on my avatar at top/right

messages settings

RCS Chats

turn on

it shows my SIM with a green "connected" status

hopefully samsung is similar, or you could try installing google messages?
