Perhaps you are not holding the "Side Button" long enough.

According to: If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won't turn on or is frozen - Apple Support

iPhone 8 or later: Press and quickly release the Volume Up button. Press and quickly release the Volume Down button. Then press and hold the Side button until you see the Apple logo.

Also, be sure to review all of the steps in the Support Article.
