Recovering iCloud photos after factory reset on new iPhone

Hi everybody. Someone can tell you what to do if you bought a new iPhone, took a birthday photo on it, but it flew to factory settings and did not synchronize the data in iCloud. Is it possible to get this data back somehow?

some photos missing after transferring from my old phone to a new one so i recently changed from iphone 13 to 15 and i backed up my phone right before i signed in to my new one. and i thought i finally got everything(photos, contacts, messages, notes,etc). but i was looking for a certain photo, and when looking through my photos i see all pictures that were taken after april 2024 all the way to before January 2025 are missing. like completely gone, no where. i was bomfuzzled and i don’t know what to do because my brother took my old phone and already restarted it so i can’t even get them back like that. i don’t know if they’re stuck in icloud still or what because it’s been a week since i transferred. what do i do?
