Adding Google ReCaptcha

I have a AJAX contact form and the error messages are printed right below the field. I want to add Google ReCaptcha to it but my attempt it isn’t working correctly, specifically, it does not appear to be checking if it was filled out or not and returning an error if necessary.

Can anyone look and see where am I making a mistake?

main (ajax.php):

<?php
include "recaptcha.php";
require_once 'config.php';
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

$response = [
	'status' => 'success',
	'message' => 'Mail sent successfully',

];



//Checking is it ajax request
if (strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH']) !== 'xmlhttprequest') {
    //Invalid Ajax request
	http_response_code(403);
	$response = [
		'status' => 'error',
		'message' => 'Invalid request, please try again.',
		'data' => []
	];
	responseHandler($response);
}

    http_response_code(400);

        'status' => 'error',
        'message' => 'Empty post data.',
        'data' => []
    ];
    responseHandler($response);
}

    $email = trim($data["emailAddress"]);
    if ( filter_var($emailAddress, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL) === false){
