Blending Options (High Pass) the Overlay and other options are grayed out, the layer is a smart object. I'm not sure how to make available or what is going on. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop (Using Photoshop 24.7.0 and later versions, macos Ventura 13.6.1) and it still does not work.

I'm not sure how to make available or what is going on.

It would appear that you are in a 32 bpc document where this blend mode isn't supported.
