Messages not accessing Contacts

I have a brand new Macbook Pro (M1 Max chip). In Messages, when I get a new message, on my old mac the app would automatically search my contacts and indicate who the message was from. This is not happening on the new Mac. I checked System Preferences, under "security and privacy", on the Privacy tab, for Contacts there is only one option available (my calendar program), and there is no '+' option to add other programs. How do I tell Messages to look up Contacts?
