iOS app synced, but media already uploaded via CLI

I have close to 8,000 media in my iCloud. I downloaded them via iCloudPD and uploaded them via the Immich CLI, because the synchronization via the iOS app takes too long for the number of photos and videos. Now that I've uploaded everything and connected my iPhone to my server, the app goes through all my media and tries to sync it, even though it's already on the server. The number of total media also goes down when it detects that the file is already on the server. Do I need to run the sync once, or are there other ways to get the app to recognize that all the existing media is already on the server.
