Force Restart iPhone 12

I tried force restarting my iPhone to clear some memory as a webpage crashed on my browser (must be a faulty website). After performing the action to force reset, I get this boot fault on the ResetCounter analytics log entry. I just got the phone last week. I pressed and quickly released the volume up, volume down, and held the side on/off button to try and force restart my phone. Is there something I need to activate so I can force restart my device and have the restart be successful???????

iPhone 12 mini, iOS 14

Here is the process:

Press and quickly release VOLUME UP
Press and quickly release VOLUME DOWN
Hold the SIDE button until an Apple logo appears

The key here is QUICKLY for each button, then Hold for a long time (15-30 seconds). If the phone starts normally, just use it. And don’t go poking around in diagnostic logs that mere mortals like us can’t understand.
