Since the last systems update, one message contact stays at the top of my messages. How can I change that?

Notifications from iMessage don't show the contact name, even though conversation list properly does macOS 11.2.3 // MacBook Air M1 2020 Desktop notifications from iMessage don't show the name of who is messaging me; it only displays the phone number. In some cases the notification will say Maybe: Contact Name. I'm not sure why this is happening. I did not have this problem on my MacBook Air Intel 2020. When I go to the conversation picker in iMessage, all of my conversations are there with name and contact photo. I've disabled and re-enabled contact syncing for iCloud and my other accounts (MS, Goog) from both Contacts.app and System Preferences > Internet Accounts. I've even gone through and updated individual contacts so that their phone was listed as 'iPhone' and not 'mobile'. I know another person who is having the same issue. I feel I've checked every setting, de-duped my contact list, done everything I could, but it's still not fixed. I think my next step is to wipe my MacBook and set it up as a new device. I used the Transfer Assistant and am wondering if that caused the issue.
