Apps not loading after data transfer

I upgraded from a iPhone 6s plus to a new iPhone 12 yesterday and everything transferred over fine but all of my apps are stuck on waiting. I've restarted my phone multiple times and every time a turn it back in all of the apps are either still greyed out and say waiting or they're stuck half way loaded and don't make any progress. I've also deleted a few apps and tried to redownload them individually but they just get stuck again.

iPhone 12, iOS 14

Stay connected to the internet and continue using the iPhone. Depending on the internet speed all apps will get downloaded from the App Store automatically. Apps don't transfer from iPhone to iPhone, only the app data along with app links to the App Store gets transferred.
