How to transfer iPhone backup from Mac to icloud

Hi,

My iPhone died out of nowhere and I didn't have any of my backups fully updated. I have a backup on my MacBook Air and a few things backed up in iCloud. I just bought more space in iCloud. I want to know if there is a way to upload the backup I have in my Mac to iCloud to restore everything together from there to my new phone.

Thank you

iPhone 12
