Photo albums appear as empty under desktop & screen saver

Normally my mac desktop background is pictures from an album that changes every minute, but suddenly my background changed to one of apples own desktop pictures, so I went to settings to change it, but when I select the album I normally have as my background, it appears empty along with all the other albums, but they are not empty under photos. I have both tried to fix it by restarting my mac and updating the software but all my photo albums are still seen as empty if I want to select them as background. Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

(idk if this is relevant but my mac is a MacBook Air 2020 and the software is macOS Monterey 12.3)
