What is the actual model of this phone? There are other variables that determine the process and likely success of recovering data from old Android phones

If you have the TWRP installed, just boot into it, and to `adb pull /dev/block/mmcblk0 mmcblk0.bin`. This will create a full memory chip image, and work on that image. Even though it's an older OS, recovering data prior to the factory reset is rarely possible, and while it may still be able to carve out some older pictures etc, the only viable solution would be to use NAND protocol on desoldered eMMC chip, and even then it's not guaranteed.
If you had Android 12, system-wide encryption was probably enabled so there's no way to recover the files (unless you break the encryption somehow).
Btw what sort of things did you forget to backup? I am looking to do a full wipe when A13 releases.
To be honest I don't really know much about recovering files from phones, but you could try to transfer files with adb pull if it's detected on a PC when you are in TWRP.
Yes, I'm just trying to help. You didn't mention if you wiped another ROM so it's possible that you could just transfer the files if the device is detected.

I scanned the image with R-Studio but didn't find much. Anways, most of the files were backed up so it's not a big deal.

It had Android 4.4. Trying to recover multiple files (photos, documents etc.) including Whatsapp backups.

Have you even read my post?

I mentioned wiping in the very first sentece
