Transferring often gives your new phone the same name as your old phone … usually w/ a parenthetical number appended … often causing confusion.
So, first rename your new device to something clear and unambiguous to YOU: Settings -> General -> About -> Name. (e.g. jfbiph14)
Then … login to https://appleid.apple.com/ choose devices … and delete any old/non-active devices which might still be there.
Lastly, don’t forget to “wipe” your old phone; either w/ the erase section of “Quick Transfer” or by this procedure:

I followed the steps, renamed my new phone. Went to the link, devices…it still shows mine twice. No new name at all. Thx for your help by the way.
You’ll probably need to power-off and restart your device to get it to accurately “sync and display” on https://appleid.apple.com/
Make sure to use a new browser window too.
