new macbook doesn't receive ALL of my text messages that appear on my phone

Why is my new MacBook not receiving all of my text messages? It appears to happen randomly and so I don't know how to troubleshoot it.

iPhone 8 Plus

Same issue on my existing Mac 12" after upgrading to Big Sur. One of my contacts I can no longer send messages to. They are on an Android and I get the message send failure now even though before Big Sur I had no issues sending or receiving messages with them on my Mac and my iPhone. Now I cannot send messages to them on my Mac, and only parts of the conversation I am having with them on my iPhone, will show up on my Mac. Then for another contact that's using an iPhone, I only received one of two messages they sent, but I was able to reply to them and they received my reply. If this can't be fixed, I would recommend back dating to Catalina.
