I have tried to restore my iphone 8 through itunes however the icon for devices isnt showing up. I want to assume that it is because of the usb i am using but when I tried my original apple charger, nothing showed up. What can I do?

I use non-Apple cables all the time. It appears your computer isn't recognizing your iPhone.

You can use any USB to Lightning cable, but you need the latest version of iTunes on a PC. If you have a Mac you don’t use iTunes anymore; you use Finder.
When you connect an iP
hone to a PC the iPhone should appear near the top of the iTunes window:
But note that it would appear if the iPhone is disabled, until it is in Restore mode. Follow these instructions:
If your device has iOS 15.2 or later installed, you can reset it without a computer; check out this link→How to reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when you forgot your passcode - Apple Support. Otherwise you will need a computer:

After restoring the phone using one of the methods above you can restore your most recent backup.
