Did you format the new hard drive prior to formatting it? If so what format scheme did you use and please explain the formatting process you used. If you don't format it first and also do it correctly then of course it will not work.
Also, what you have is really a computer antique now (it's a 2011 iMac) at almost 14 years old it is:

A1312 would be one of these models:
All of them originally shipped with some point release of Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), and for all of them macOS 10.13.6 (High Sierra) is the end of the line.
All of them should have come with optical recovery discs for reinstalling Snow Leopard – though given changes in https security, upgrading from Snow Leopard to High Sierra can be a bit complicated.
iMac will not boot up after using a bootable installer.
