(Realme 6) After flashing my phone with the original ROM, google pay doesn't work - Realme 6 Questions & Answers

So I tried installing a custom ROM on my Realme 6 a while ago and it didn't work out so I had to flash my phone with the stock ROM, after doing so, after every restart I get a boot message:
Orange State: Your device has been unlocked and can’t be trusted…Your device will boot in 5 seconds
The phone still boots alright but I cannot use google pay or specific services as it says that the phone cant be trusted.
Does anyone know of this and how to fix it? quite a frustration not being able to use my phone for paying anymore.
edit: i read that relocking the phone fixes it but i also read that you may hardbrick your phone. kinda lost.

You unlocked the bootloader, you need to re-lock the bootloader, that is what the "device can't be trusted" message means.
Find a guide on the internet or a thread here that discusses unlocking/locking the bootloader on your specific model number, if other people with your exact model have re-locked their bootloader without bricking their device, follow the same instructions/steps exactly the way they did and you shouldn't have to worry about bricking the device if you carefully follow instructions to the letter.
If you already searched and found the solution, why did you come here to ask? It isn't like their is an alternative solution that can be found here. Lock your bootloader, that's it.

I found guides but wanted to make sure, anyway, I typed reboot bootloader command, and my phone restarts and is stuck with a message

Press and hold power + vol up and down, should turn on.
Anyway, I fixed my bootloader by flashing my phone with an older update.

I didn't flash using twrp, I used SPFLASH tool and then after the process finished, my phone back to first update, I was then able to relock the bootloader using the normal commands.
