Recovering Backup

I have two iPhone 8 phones under my account and I think this is preventing me from restoring my backup. Can someone assist me?

My backup was lost!!! How do I get back my backup? I backup-ed my iPhone SE a few minutes ago and reset it (Erase all content and settings), because I watched a video on youtube that this is the way to lessen the frustrating “other storage”. The video showed that after resetting with a backup, it smoothly came back to normal with lessened “other storage”. But when I did it with my iPhone just now, I couldn’t access the backup because it always say that the phone passcode I was entering was wrong. Then it only showed “set up as new iPhone” so I clicked it. When all was done, my backup didn’t appear and the backup I saved few minutes ago before resetting my phone was gone! Please help! :(((((

It shouldn't be stopping you unless you have two different system versions on them and you are trying to use a backup from a newer version to a phone running an older version.
