Reboot the phone and try again. If possible backup to iCloud in addition to iTunes in case the iTunes backup doesn't want to restore if/when the time comes.

So the newest version of iTunes then. iOS 16 is out now so you might consider updating. Might be a big enough reset to clear whatever flag iTunes is picking up on.
