Are you using the same Apple ID with your iPhone SE that you used before? Items acquired with one Apple ID are forever tied to that Apple ID and cannot be transferred or merged with another Apple ID unless you change it according to:

Change your Apple ID - Apple Support


If you did not create a new Apple ID, did you sign into the iTunes Store with your iPhone SE?

Sign in with your Apple ID - Apple Support


Finally, the apps may be fun your App Library:
