Your iPhone may not have enough space to store all high-resolution photos and videos from iCloud.


Please compare 

Settings>your name>iCloud>Manage Storage

And

Settings>General>iPhone Storage


This will give you a fair idea of how to manage your device and iCloud storage.


Some of the links below may help

  1. Manage iCloud Photos iCloud Photo Library Help - Apple Support 
  2. Manage your iPhone Storage --> Manage your photo and video storage - Apple Support
