First the iPhone 15 MUST be on the same iOS version as the 17e. So make sure the iPhone 15 and iPhone 17e are updated to iOS 27.0.1, which is the current iOS version. Then the iPhone 15, needs to have been wiped correctly for it to receive the data from the iPhone 17e. See how to prepare the iPhone 15 here --> What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support You need to do this even though you aren't selling or trading the phone. It needs to open to the Hello Page before you attempt to move the data from your 17e to it.
Then you can choose the method from this link which best meets your needs --> Transfer data from your previous iOS or iPadOS device to your new iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
