This is the process

If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won't turn on or is frozen - Apple Support

Make sure you hold the button until the real recovery screen appears before letting go

If that fails you phone may well be unrepairable.

That is what it says

”iPhone 8 and later: Press and quickly release the Volume Up button. Press and quickly release the Volume Down button. Then, press and hold the Side button until you see the recovery mode screen.”

When you say hold the “button” until the teal green screen shows up. Is the button the “power button”
