icloud backup not fully restored on new phone

so i recently just upgraded to a new phone and i had previously backed up my icloud before getting it and even on the morning of. but when i got the new phone and everything was apparently “restored”. i find that i’m missing a huge portion of conversations in my text messaging. all my conversations from jan - mar 2022 completely disappeared. it makes me feel a bit sad because that time period meant a lot to me and losing them and being unable to look back is a huge loss. so i was wondering if there was a way i could get those 3 months of conversations back at the comfort of my own home?

iPhone XS Max, iOS 15

SMS messages do not pass through iCloud. IMHO, the only way to back it up is by using a computer and doing an encrypted backup. Unfortunately, I am not familiar with any way of restoring those SMS/text messages. :(
