Hello 51p,
Do you know if you were using Messages in iCloud on your previous device? If so, those Messages won't be stored in your backup. You can find more info about that in here: Use Messages in iCloud - Apple Support
Do you still have access to your previous iPhone? If so, you can try enabling Messages in iCloud on the new device to see if they sync over. You can do that using these steps:
1. Go to the Settings app.
2. Tap your name.
3. Tap iCloud.
4. Turn on Messages.
Cheers!
