Uploading old iTunes purchased music onto new phone

I have iTunes music purchased from 2016-2020 that is not uploading onto my Apple Music app. How do I find it to re-upload? I can find the purchase history in settings, but no option to upload. Three of the dozens of songs uploaded from different years, but all the rest are missing.

iPhone 5s, iOS 12

**Update** After searching thru the Apple community (correctly) I found my answer:


Redownload music in the iTunes Store app on your iPhone or iPad

  1. Open the iTunes Store app.
    • On your iPhone: At the bottom of your screen, tap More, then tap Purchased.
    • On your iPad: Tap Purchased.
  1. Tap Music. If you use Family Sharing, tap a family member’s name to see music that they purchased.
  2. Find the music that you want to redownload, then tap it.
  3. Tap the download button next to a song or album. If you don't see the download button, then the song or album is already in the Apple Music app.
