imac photo imports and recents do not match photo library

Curious: iMac photos "Library" doesn't reflect all recent photos imported from a camera and iPhone, but "recents" and "imports" do. Photos imported are obviously on the iMac. However, photos do not show up in the "Library". The library dropdown specifies "all photos". Should them not showing up their matter and if so how might I go about correcting the issue? Thanks Community for your helpful advice and support. P.S. some photos show up and others do not. Not sure which were from iPhone or camera.

Is the date set correctly on the digital Camera?

If not, then the photos will go to the wrong time and date in the main library.

To find out if a photo came from the digital Camera or iPhone?

Control (right) click on the Photo and select Get Info.

You are so correct on the root cause of this problem. All missing images are from the camera which has a preset date of 2018. The images are there in the library. Is there anyway to readjust the date so they show up with the others? Thank you so much!
