Some iMessages not being received on Mac only on phone

Just clean-installed Monterey, and Mac its running like a dream. However I have an odd Messages issue whereby any automated codes sent for 2 factor authentication or similar are received on my phone but NOT my Mac. All texts from friends are received fine on both devices but codes sent by my bank, Apple, Google, Adobe and others for login purposes appear only on my phone. Any ideas? Im wondering if it is something to do with these organisations not being listed in Contacts?

iMac 27″, macOS 10.13

Use Messages in iCloud

And on the iPhone >> Setting >> Messages and make sure " Text Forwarding " is enabled. Further, and still on iPhone >> Messages the Computer is Listed by Name and also enabled

You are welcome and thank you too.

Do come back to the Apple Support Communities ( ASC ) in the future, if / or when additional question may arise

Great thanks - I think this has fixed it. Having done a clean install, I changed the name of my MacBook Pro. Settings showed text forwarding to the previous name but not the new one. Thanks!
