Did you try this:

Select the clip

On the window on the right with the select the 'i' with the circle around it for info

Click "Color Space Override" and select "Rec. 2020"

See if that works. I saw a Youtube that recommended that.

If you set an iPhone DolbyVision HLG HDR clip to Rec 2020, it will make it look flat, kind of like it has a LUT applied. If you set it to Rec 2020 HLG, it doesn't nothing and looks identical to the Color Space Override set to None.

Make sure the library is set to wide gamut. Is the first image the browser or the project? What project settings are you using? Are you delivering HDR or Rec 709?
