Iphone 8 Plus "unable to install apps"

Hi,

I transferred from Android to Iphone and the phone was upgraded to ios16 before the factory reset. After that I'm not able to install default ios apps such as clock, contacts, files, facetime etc. It just says waiting and when I click it shows "unable to install, try again error". When go to app and try to delete it shows the loading sign. I can install new apps, but the default ones are not installing/deleting.

What I have did:

Reset All settings/Network Settings
Checked Content & Privacy Restrictions
Checked Storage
Restarted Device
Sign out Apple ID and sign back in

Please help, I have been trying to fix this issue for two days. I would appreciate help as I'm new to Apple ecosystem

What sberman didn't mention was this sentence from Release Notes of 16.7.4

This update fixes an issue where built-in Apple apps that may have been deleted may not reinstall.
