LR showing and sorting according to an incorrect read on capture date/time.

Hi folks, I am having an issue where, upon importing to LR, organized by date, LR seems to be putting files into incorrect folders that do not align with the actual capture/date time of the photo. Please see screenshot which displays the difference in how LR is showing the "Capture Date/Capture Time" vs how macOS is showing the "created" metadata, which is actually the correct capture date/time of the photo.
Not thats its totally relevant as I imagine an expert will have the answer figured out on their own...but the only possible reason for all of this that I can come up with is that perhaps this could have something to do with moving these files around from drive to drive over the years? maybe LR is reading some metadata field when looking for capture date/time that is actually reporting the last time some specific file copy even happened (even though the file has been moved multiple times since the Oct 2. 2020 thats being reported, but I digress) for some reason, whereas macOS is reading some other EXIF field that is reporting the true capture date/time?
As always thanks so much to the power users for all of your help!
