SOLVED.

On my new iphone, on settings, accounts, Gmail had contacts turned on.

I also had contacts syncing with iCloud. That is why my contacts on the phone were different from those on iCloud, as they were drawing from two different sources.

I turned off the contacts from gmail on the phone, and now contacts on iCloud and iPhone are the same.
