Duplicate detection not working as expected

I am running v1.60.0 on docker. I recently uploaded ~40000 photos using the bulk upload / CLI from my google photos, expecting that duplicate detection would prevent the lower quality google photos from being uploaded where I had an original quality version of the same photo. The filenames also match. Did I misunderstand the duplicate detection feature? Is there a way to tell Immich to only keep the larger file of the same name?

Thanks
