Unable to locate control center on iPadOS

I believe my iPad updated to the latest software version overnight(I have automatic updates turned on), because yesterday and prior I had no issues with finding my control panel. However, when I unlocked my iPad and tried to adjust the brightness through the control center, it didn’t come up. Instead what looks like a new feature called “siri suggestions” appeared when I swiped from the top right of my screen. I opened up multiple apps and tried to access the control center, swiping the top right of my screen, but nothing came up. Does anyone know how to access the control center with this latest software update?

My iPadOS software version is 26.2.1
