Adding a gesture recognizer to both custom tableview cell and subviews on cell is not working

Question

I have added gesture recognisers to subviews on my tableview custom cell .

Enabled isUserInteractionEnabled for UIElements

let imageView: UIImageView = {
        let imageView = UIImageView()
        imageView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
        imageView.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
        return imageView
    }()
    
let firstLabel: UILabel = {
    let label = UILabel()
    label.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
    label.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
    return label
}()

let someStackView: UIStackView = {
    let stackView = UIStackView()
    stackView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
    stackView.axis = .vertical
    stackView.alignment = .leading
    return stackView
}()

let secondButton: UIButton = {
    let button = UIButton(type: .custom)
    button.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
    button.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
    return button
}()

 func setupcustomcellView() {  
    addSubview(imageView)
    addSubview(someStackView)
    someStackView.addArrangedSubviews([
        firstLabel,
        secondButton
    ]) }

I have added gestures using below function :

 private func setupUserInteraction() {
        let iMageTapRecognizer = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self,
                                                              action: #selector(didTappediMage))
        imageView.addGestureRecognizer(iMageTapRecognizer)
        
        secondButton.addTarget(self,
                                             action: #selector(didTappedtButton),
                                             for: .touchUpInside)
        let firstLabelTapRecognizer = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self,
                                                              action: #selector(didTappedfirstLabel))
        firstLabel.addGestureRecognizer(firstLabelTapRecognizer)
    }

These gestures are recognised only when I disable user interaction for custom cell content view.

contentView.isUserInteractionEnabled = false

But I want to add gesture to my content view itself. When user clicks on cell I need to perform certain action. But when I make contentView.isUserInteractionEnabled = true, My subviews gesturerecognizers are not recognised. Please guide me why is gesture of UI elements are not recognised when custom cell user interaction is set to true.

Content view is blocking in between . I made below changes and it worked

 func setupcustomcellView() {  
    self.contentView.addSubview(imageView)
    self.contentView.addSubview(someStackView)
    someStackView.addArrangedSubviews([
        firstLabel,
        secondButton
    ]) }
