Immich is pulling the incorrect time and date from images

I just bulk uploaded a Google Photos Takeout to Library to Immich and noticed that a bunch of images and videos are incorrectly dated in Immich. Before uploaded, I made sure to run EXIFtool the EXIF date taken as well as the file creation date were correct (pulled from the json files Google Photos uses).
I double checked the originals and the dates where correct, but noticed that Immich was actually using the file modification date instead of the EXIF date or creation date. I'm not sure why it did this for random images and videos but I assume it isn't supposed to work this way. I re-ran the EXIF data extract and the issue wasn't fixed. Any idea what is going on or how to fix it?
