Restoring iCloud backup without losing data from "Move to iOS" app on iPhone

I was using my iPhone and an android phone as a secondary device which had data. I backed up my iPhone to iCloud before resetting it, post which I transferred my data from the android phone using the Move to IOS app. How do I reinstall the backed up iPhone data from iCloud without deleting my data transferred from the android phone? Both are very important to me.

You don't. Decide which data is more important and use that one.
