try this

protected function rules()
{
    return [
        'name' => ['required', 'string', 'max:50', 'min:5'],
        'email' => ['required', 'string', 'email', 'max:60', 'unique:users,email,' . $this->modelId,],
        'password' => ['nullable', 'string', 'min:8', 'confirmed'], // if you not have password confirmed remove (confirmed)
        'photo' => 'nullable|image|mimes:jpeg,png,jpg|max:650',
    ];
}

public function updatedPhoto()
{
    $this->validate([
        'photo' => 'image|mimes:jpeg,png,jpg|max:1024',
    ]);
}

public function update()
{

    if ($this->validate()) {
        $data = [
            'name' => $this->name,
            'username' => $this->username,
            'email' => $this->email,
        ];

        if (!empty($this->password)) {
            $validatedData = $this->validate([
                'password' => 'required|string|min:8|confirmed',
            ]);
            $data['password'] = Hash::make($validatedData['password']);
        }

        if (!empty($this->photo)) {
            $namePhoto = $this->avatar->store('photos', 'public');
            $data['photo'] = $namePhoto;
        } else {
            $data['photo'] = $this->photoOld;
        }

        $user = TableUser::where('id', $this->ids)->update($data);

    }
    $this->resetform();

    $this->emit('closemodaledit');

}
