Reset your New iPhone to Factory Settings:

Try resetting your new iPhone to factory settings. Once reset, perform this once more, using this site: Transfer Data from your Previous iOS or iPadOS Device to your New iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support. Important: Keep all items plugged in for power when performing the transfer, to prevent issues like this from occurring.
