RGB color issue

I'm having issues with Illustrator working with files all set to RGB and same color profile. When copying a graphic from one file to another, the RGB values change, therefore the color change sligthly.
I have worked around it creating a library for the colors I want to use, however, I also added to the library graphics I need to reuse, such as logos, and they change colors when placed back into files, even into the original ones they came from.
Tried checking the profiles, switching profiles, changing between process and spot color, suggestions in somewhat similar posts here, ... and nothing has worked so far. Document color mode RGB and profile attached. Color Management Policies also don't seem to matter since "Preserve embedded profiles" and "Convert to working space" are having the same results. Illustrator 28.2 (2024) on MacOS Ventura.
Example attached: left, the original colors used, in the middle, the colors of the assets that have been extracted from the file and dragged back into it, on the right, the original colors were copy/pasted into another document (with the same settings) and then pasted back into the original file.
Original: RGB 255 115 0/ 227 207 0/ 253 247 172
Library: RGB 255 104 0/ 231 207 0/ 254 247 162
Other file: RGB 234 113 46/ 255 205 68/ 251 245 170
Anyone with a solution? Thanks in advance!
