Problem importing photos from iphone 12Pro Max

I'm having issues with importing only NEW pictures taken with my iphone 12Pro Max to my Mac desktop. The older one's taken will import fine (from data transfer to this new phone). My Mac is a Mac Pro (mid 2010) running OS High Sierra 10.13.1 Like I've stated only new picture won't import, states: Unable to read metadata. The file may be corrupt. With fingers crossed hoping it's a camera setting fix.

Thanks for reading, G
