System app update problem

Hi, I have problem updating system apps, I go to the App Store look for the app and click update and it tells me it was not downloaded with this Apple ID even though I have always had this on this Mac. How can I update?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

If you don’t find the apps there for adoption, the work around is to delete the apps and redownload them.
