Lightroom classic cannot import all pictures in folder in MacOS

Hello, 

I use this catalog between a Macbook Air and a Windows PC.  I have a Nikon 7Z II, and in the manual it states that the camera will make new folders at 5k items (viewable) in a folder.   I know this is large but I figure I'll keep it that way over the 1k folder limit of the DSLRs they've had.  

I find that sometimes my Lightroom classic, only on the MacBook Air, will not find all files to import.  Currently the folder has less than 3500 files in them, but my last import seemed to be missing files.  I did another import, and I always make it show the dialog so I can select build smart preview, and it told me there were 11 files (this number also seems low but I'd take it) While it sorts through the list of files to import, it eventually reaches zero files to import.  

Before this I had a misconfigured folder with over 6k of files in them.  MacOS had a hard time opening the folder, and Lightroom would miss the last few files.  I corrected it to 5k and eventually it got all the files.  I'm not sure if I did that on the Mac or the PC.  The thing is, throwing anything at LRC on the PC, it sucks it in and it can be manipulated on the Mac with no issue.  Just directly importing from a folder with a large number of files seems to miss some, though the system knows that they are there, at least most of them.  

Other specifics:

Store drive of media file syste: NTFS (all files visible in finder)

MacBook Air: M2 model 8GB ram

MacOS: 15 (not a typo)

Library stored on local disk alone with Smart previews.
