Music library did not transfer to new phone?

I upgraded to an iPhone 11 pro max from a 8 Plus. My complete iTunes music library did not transfer over from my 8 Plus. Any idea why? Only a partial transfer was completed. Thank you.

My old phone 8 and Mac book both have 2,784 items and my new iPhone only has 549 items in iTunes. SYNC is on. For some reason my new iPhone iTunes will not update to match my other two devises. Any help or suggestions? Thank you.

Turn on Sync Library

With the latest version of iOS, iPadOS, and macOS, Sync Library is turned on by default. If you turned off Sync Library, you can turn it back on. Just follow the steps below for your device.

On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Go to Settings > Music.
Turn on Sync Library. If you don't subscribe to Apple Music or iTunes Match, you won’t see an option to turn on Sync Library.

If Sync Library is updating or turned off, you'll see a message at the top of the Library tab in the Apple Music app.

A backup from your a computer doesn't include:

Content from the iTunes and App Stores, or PDFs downloaded directly to Apple Books
Content synced from iTunes, like imported MP3s or CDs, videos, books, and photos
Data already stored in iCloud, like iCloud Photos, iMessages, and text (SMS) and multimedia (MMS) messages
Face ID or Touch ID settings
Apple Pay information and settings
Apple Mail data
Activity, Health, and Keychain data (to back up this content, you'll need to use Encrypted Backup in iTunes.)
