The hotspot on the iPhone 13 in fact all iPhones is along the top edge of the phone

Note that the iPhone will also scan better from a further distance if you open an NFC app first as well

I am sure my iPhone scans better from the middle. Is that possible ?

No. The antenna is always on the top edge.
