Your iPhone maynot 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 storage.

iCloud storage is independent of phone storage. Phone storage is a fixed size and can't be increased.

If you are out of storage space on your phone, you will need to free up space.


Here are some helpful articles that can guide you on how to free up storage space on your phone.
