If the iCloud backup hasn't been fully completed on the older device then unfortunately it won't allow you to restore it on the new device & since you already factory reset the older phone I am afraid that you have lost all your data.


For future I suggest performing Device to Device transfers which are available from iOS 12.4.1.
