How do I restore from the iCloud backup? New phone, the rep already passed that option since I switched from a 7P to a 14XP. Took time for Apple to get the transfer done

I need to put my iCloud info from my no longer working 7P to this 14XP. The rep already set up the phone without doing the restore iCloud from back up and I can’t figure out how to do it now

iPhone 14 Pro Max, 16

To setup from an iCloud Backup see the instructions in Use iCloud to transfer data from your previous iOS or iPadOS device to your new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

including the following if setup was already done:


    1. Turn on your new device. A "Hello" screen should appear. If you've already set up your new device, you need to erase it before you can use these steps.* 


* To erase your device that's using iOS or iPadOS 15 or later, tap Settings > General > Transfer or Reset [Device] > Erase All Content and Settings. On iOS or iPadOS 14 or earlier, tap Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. This erases all data on your device. After you erase it, your device restarts and the "Hello" screen appears.
