Is that a carrier branded AT&T phone or factory unlocked? I'm on a factory unlocked Flip 3 with AT&T, and I don't have those options 🤔

Or are you using the Samsung Band Selector app?

I was in California last week and the 5G was kinda sketchy; for both AT&T and Verizon. The download speeds were good. However, the upload speeds were atrocious. In many cases, less than 1Mbps.

The areas were around LAX, Disneyland/Anaheim, and Pasadena.

Ok. That's probably true. If you were at the stadium watching the Rose Bowl that would be a different story. But in the entire area shouldn't be network congestion.
Download speeds were not bad. In some cases over 100Mbps; with most of them in the 20-50Mbps range. It was the upload connections that were bad. Many times under 1Mbps in the 100Kbps to 200Kbps range.

Many people don't realize that upload speeds can have a greater impact than download speeds.
