Why are my games locked on PS5 after game sharing?
You probably need to set the PS5 you’re trying to play on as your primary console. Go to Settings > Users and Accounts > Other > Console Sharing and Offline Play, and make sure it's enabled.

The person sharing the game with you might have set their own console as the primary one. You can only have one primary console per account.
Sometimes a simple restart can fix it! Turn off your PS5, wait a few seconds, and then turn it back on.
Might be a region issue. Make sure both accounts are from the same region to avoid locking problems.
