NEW IPHONE Authenticate User Keyboard In The Way

I have a new iPhone and I'm trying to access it by "authenticating the user", however, it wont let me press continue since the keypad is in the way of the continue button. What can I do?

iPhone 6, iOS 12

Authenticating User While trying to set up my new iphone 12 mini, I keep getting stuck on the “Authenticate User” screen. It asks for my 5 digit billing zip code and the last 4 digits of the Primary Account Holder’s Social Security Number. So I fill in the info and there’s no button to continue. it just stays there with the number pad in the typing zone. I saw the continue button before I started typing but now it’s nowhere to be found. I have restarted the phone over and over and it keeps getting stuck here. How can I use my new phone?
