Songs on iPhone but not on iMac

I have 4 songs on my iPhone that are not on my iMac. (I get the error "The song “XXX” could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?") I've tried to re-download them in iTunes but there isn't an arrow-clowd icon like is shown in the support article. Obviously I must not have transferred my purchases from my phone to my computer, but I can't figure out how to fix it now. Can anyone help?

iPhone 7, iOS 11

Hi,

If the Tracks are listed in your iTunes library, try selecting remove download. If the download arrow appears, you can redownload. If this does not work, delete tracks from your library then redownload from previous purchases, unhiding if necessary.
