iPhone doesn't show up in side bar

My iPhone (new SE) doesn't show up in my new iMac (Big Sur) Finder. I have enabled CD, DVD and iOS devices in the Finder's Preferences. Restarted both, disconnected and reconnected . Updated both and the iPhone is charging. Other devices connected to the same USB port work fine. Still doesn't show.

Please verify the Lightning cable is plugged in correctly (switch the sides on the iPhone side) and re-try. It will appear in Finder and ensure you have the correct Finder Preference setup. If you continue to have a problem please restart in Safe Mode and then restart normally and test.
