How can I recover permanently deleted photos from iCloud to my iPhone 15 Pro Max?

So yesterday I deleted a bunch of photos from my iphone Photos app and then went to recently deleted, and deleted them there as well. Luckily I have iCloud photos sync enabled and they are all still in the iCloud library, and because the Cloud library had not synced yet, they have not disappeared there, just on my iPhone. I quickly turned off iCloud Photos off on my phone and now they are on all my other devices. My question is, how do I get them back on my iphone. I’m scared to turn on Cloud photo syncing again, because that would mean that the cloud would sync to my phone library, which is missing the photos. Can somebody help me?

Well the photos are all on iCloud.com under the Photos tab. They are also all my iPad. I only permanently deleted them on my iphone. Now only my iPhone is missing the photos, and the syncing is off on the phone. If I turn it back on, will my iPhone sync to my iCloud library and iclude the photos again, or will it be vice versa, and the iCloud will sync to the library missing the photos?
