Nothings seems to work on Error 9956

I have roughly 2800 photos and movies on my phone. 2100 of them are producing 9956 errors when I attempt to import them using Image capture. Even on normal sized JPG formatted images.

I have dealt with the security settings on my mac

I have confirmed full permissions for the hard drive I'm importing to and also attempted to import directly to my system drive.

I have tried both settings in the photos app settings, (both automatic and compatible)

I'm using MacOS 10.14.6 on a MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2017)

I'm using iOS 14.4 on an iPhone 7 MNAC2LL/A

Is there anything else to try? I'm trying desperately to avoid Apple's crashy Photos app.

MacBook Pro 17″, OS X 10.11

I just fixed this by adding even more than is commonly suggested on the web to System Preferences/ Security and Privacy/ Full Disk Access

Here's my list. I didn't get a single 9956 error out of 2800 files:

/Applications/Image\ Capture.app

/Applications/Image\ Capture.app/Contents/MacOS/Image\ Capture

/System/Library/Image\ Capture/Devices/VirtualScanner.app

/System/Library/Image\ Capture/Devices/Type4Camera.app

/System/Library/Image\ Capture/Devices/PTPCamera.app

/System/Library/Image\ Capture/Devices/MassStorageCamera.app

/System/Library/Image\ Capture/Devices/AirScanScanner.app

/System/Library/Image\ Capture/Automatic\ Tasks/MakePDF.app

/System/Library/Image\ Capture/Automatic\ Tasks/Build\ Web\ Page.app

/System/Library/Image\ Capture/Support/Application/AutoImporter.app

/System/Library/Image\ Capture/Tools/use_updated_image_capture_software

/System/Library/Image\ Capture/Support/icdd

/System/Library/Image\ Capture/Devices/PTPCamera.app/Contents/MacOS/PTPCamera
