Unselected History Steps

Question

I'm having an issue where my entire back catalogue before a certain date has all of the edits in the image's history, but with no step selected, meaning the photo is unedited. There's no way I am aware of to bulk restoring history steps and with 200k edited images, doing them one by one is pretty impractical.

I had a full corruption of my catalogue in october, and restoring to an earlier october backup I discovered this issue with images earlier than september. This backup catalogue also couldn't be imported into other catalogues and couldn't sync to LR cloud. I exported all my photos as a new catalogue and the sync and import work now, but the unselected history step issue remains the same. Is there a way to fix this or am I going to have to sit down with adobe support to get them to fix the database?

Oh and I did already have the adobe database team look at it for the catalogue import and sync issues, but I hadn't discovered the history issue at the time. They returned the catalogue but it exhibited the same symptoms, it was only after that I created the new catalogue. But the history issue exists on recent backups too.
