iMessage history from iCloud not syncing to new devices

Hi, I'm trying to retrieve my message history stored in iCloud. I've recently purchased a new laptop and phone. My old laptop didn't have imessage set up properly but the messages from the old phone are stored in iCloud. I didn't want to restore my the backup of my old phone at setup. The three devices have the sharing across devices on and I made several attempts to sync, but nothing is downloading. All devices also have text message forwarding. Is there a way to download the old ones to the new devices?

Thanks!
