Rice doesn’t work very well if at all, and neither does a dunked iPhone.

These cases are usually headed for a replacement.

Dunking a device can short out the device, and can also cause longer-term corrosion within an apparently-surviving device.

Yours didn’t survive the dunk.

Rice tends to get stuck in stuff.

Aim a low-humidity drying breeze—fan, air conditioner vent, etc—at the ports.

That may or may not help.

But I wouldn't hold out much hope, here.
