Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! It sounds like you have contacts that are on your iPhone but not on your Mac is that right? If you want data such as Contacts to be seamlessly updated between your devices, you can enable iCloud on your iPhone and your Mac, and turn on the Contacts feature. Here are some resources to help you with this:

The link that I provided above is very comprehensive. I initially highlighted just a section of it above. At this point, I would suggest clicking on the link and reviewing the entire article.
Get help using iCloud Contacts, Calendars, or Reminders
Having said that, I would also focus on this particular section:See which account your contacts are in:
- Open the Contacts app and tap Groups in the upper-left corner.
- Deselect the All [account] option for any third-party account, like Gmail or Yahoo.
- Make sure All iCloud is selected.
- Tap Done to see your list of contacts. If you don't see the contact you're looking for, it's stored in another account.
- You can import the contact from a third-party service into iCloud.
Set iCloud as the default account for your contacts in iOS 8 or later:
- Tap Settings > Contacts.
- Tap Default Account.
- Select iCloud.
Take care.
