User Friends Identification on a Page

Hello,
I have a Facebook page for one of my artistic activities (a page, I emphasize, so it's not my personal profile, even though I manage it by myself. Everyone differentiates well between page and personal profile, right?)
To tag friends (or myself) who appear in some artworks on my page, I use my personal profile and go to the photos on my page, I click on the tag to identify, I enter the names, and I click on "finish tagging". (Using my personal profile means that I am on the page, but at the top right, in the circle, it's the profile picture of my personal profile that appears, meaning I'm indeed speaking in my personal name of the personal profile). At no time do I receive an error message or anything that says "you cannot do this".
However, none of these tags have worked (something I've noticed after several weeks spent working on these tags!). And it's not a matter of tags that people would have refused because even the one where I tag myself (me personal profile tagging myself with my personal profile name on a photo of my page), it produces nothing (I have neither my tagging that appears, nor a validation request, either on my personal profile or my page)
Why use my personal profile instead of my page profile to tag my friends, you might ask.
Well, because it's much easier since my friends' names appear as soon as I type the first letters of their names if I do it with my personal profile. Whereas if I type them with my page profile, it suggests all possible names on Facebook, and I have to type almost all the letters for it to find the right person.
This blockage on photo tagging is all the more puzzling since, on the contrary, when I mention a friend in the comments on the same photo (still from my personal profile on my page), it works without problem: the name is bolded, the person is notified that I mentioned them in the comment and can react.
Is it a setting that I missed or is it a known blocking issue from FB?

Facebook's tagging feature can sometimes be temperamental, but this may also be due to privacy settings. Facebook allows tagging from personal accounts on a page, but there are restrictions. Tagging on a Page is only possible if the person tagging is an administrator of the Page and if the post is public.
If you attempt to tag someone via your personal account on a photo from your page, it will not work, as tagging is restricted due to the difference in nature between the two accounts (personal and Page).
So, to tag someone in a photo posted on your Page, you must do it from the Page itself. To do this, ensure you are using Facebook as the Page and not as a personal profile.
At the top right of the Facebook page, you will see your profile picture. Click on it and select the Page from the dropdown menu. Then, you will be able to tag people in your posts.
It is also important to note that the people you are trying to tag may have privacy settings that allow them to decide who can tag them in photos. If this is the case, even if you tag correctly, they may choose not to accept the tag.
Hello Bobot.
According to the tests I conducted afterwards.
Identification in the text is possible whether you are using your personal-admin account or the page account. (but the names that can appear in the list may differ depending on the type of account chosen for writing)
Identification in the image is indeed only available if you are on the page account. It is therefore a mistake that the interface offers the label icon for "identify in the image" when connected with your personal account.
Examples in screenshots:
1 Connected as a page on my page, I have the label to identify in an image. That's normal.
2. Connected as myself (personal profile) on an image of my page. The label to identify in the image is nevertheless offered. It’s misleading since we just established that this identification in the image was, in any case, impossible as a personal profile.
