Have you tried using photoshop or another tool to try and fix it? Maybe make the picture lighter? That's my only guess..

Thanks for yor hepl.. lemme try yours right away but i even went to YouTube n saw this tutorial on how to lighten eye shadow's but that one didn't work.. I guess maybe e problem is from how my face is structured lol a my eye socket is a lil deep

Are you sure you have the correct proportions on the photo - firstly that it is US passport size (differs from almost everywhere else) and secondly that the face is in the correct % of the photo? You may be getting the message because it’s expecting your eyes to be somewhere they’re not.
