A Few Thoughts:
Perhaps these have become hidden purchases. To see if that is the case, Unhide them.
Hunt down these same items in the iTunes Store. When located, tap the download button.
Sometimes items are removed from the iTunes Store. When that occurs, the items are no longer accessible. That all has to do with licensing between Apple and the movie studio (i.e. MGM). That’s just the way it is :(
So, download these next time you recover them. Save them in an external drive for easy access, incase they become removed from the iTunes Store. That way, you will be able to retrieve them again. It all has to do with licensing between Apple and the Music Studio.

If these were purchased on the same Apple ID account through the iTunes Store, then they should be available on both devices through the iTunes Store.

Were all these purchases done in the same country or region?
Are the purchased titles mentioned in the Purchased tab of the Movies app?
Are the purchased titles mentioned in the Library tab of the TV app?
Do these two apps one Apple TV match each other for listed purchased titles and missing ones?
Do these missing titles appears as playable (instead of purchasable) when searching for these titles, either in the Movies app or the TV app?
How many of your purchases would you say are missing? Can you list some missing titles?
Thanks and yes I got them on the same Apple ID account. The model is Apple TV 4K, 64 GB.
Thanks!
You are welcome!
