photo album not showing on apple watch

I have created 2 albums of 7 pictures to use on my apple watch face. One of these albums syncs and all the pictures appear, but in the second one, only 2 of the 7 pictures in the album show. I have rebooted my watch, and swapped up on the album. Can anyone give me some advice?

Thank you

Apple Watch Series 6, watchOS 8
