Hi Misterconfused,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We understand you need to sync contacts from a Mac to your iPhone.


Accessing your contacts on both a Mac and an iPhone is a convenient option, we'd like for you to enjoy. We'll be happy to help.


If the contacts are stored in iCloud, you'll want to turn this feature on for both devices. This will help synchronize the contacts across your devices. Here's a helpful article with the proper steps: Set up and use iCloud Contacts


If the contacts are not stored in iCloud, you can follow these steps: Sync contacts and calendars between your Mac and iPhone or iPad


Kind regards.
