iPhone is missing at finder sidebar

I accidentally removed from Finder sidebar my iPhone by right click and "Remove from sidebar" and now when I plug my iPhone in again Finder doesn't show it at sidebar so I cannot restore my iPhone from backup, but if I right click at another tab and select "Import from iPhone" Finder sees it.

So how can I return my iPhone back to sidebar?

MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.15

Open Finder Preferences (via the menu named Finder), click Sidebar at the top of the Preferences window and insure that there is a check mark in front of "CDs, DVDs, & iOS devices."
