My iPhone 8 was disabled due to a broken screen. I replaced it and tried restoring but my screen is stuck on connected to computer. It won't go past this screen

I tried restoring my iPhone but now I am stuck on connected to computer. If I disconnect, it asks me to connect to iTunes. When I connect, it won't do anything.

iPhone 8 Plus
