Help with iMessage with new iPhone

My last iPhone was dropped in a pool and quit working. I got a new iPhone but the most recent backup available was from 2019, so all of my messages from 2019 until present are missing. These messages are on my Mac, however. Is there a way to sync my devices so that these older messages that are missing from my iPhone will show up again? New messages are syncing correctly between the two devices.

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 16
