Lightroom not recognizing all ARW files for import

I'm attempting to import my ARW files into Lightroom Classic, and only a few are popping up in the import window.

I've tried this on both my iMac and Macbook Air with the same results.

I'm using the latest version of Lightroom Classic 11.1, my Mac OS is Big Sur 11.5.2

Screenshot attached of the import dialoge in Lightroom vs the Folder it's referencing.

These files were first imported to Lightroom (cloud based) but shouldn't have any refernce to Classic.

Update: I've exported the photos from my LR CC catalog to my hard drive, and now they're able to import. It's truly odd. I've been using LR for 15 years and I've taught it for 10, this is the first time I've encountered this bug.

What makes you say: only a few are popping up in the import window.

If you copy the raws you feel are not importing to another drive and try, any difference?

I tried the same photos from a different hard drive with the same results.

You can see from my attached photo that the number of images recognized is far less than that on the folder introduced to import.

I'm not sure why the screen capture isn't appearing, I can see it when I click on it, it may take a while to load. I've put it here as well just in case. I checked off Suspected Duplicated and unfortunately no change.

Can't see on your screen capture, what is set for "Don't Import Suspected Duplicates"? That could be what you're seeing.

These are all the same cameras ARWs right?
