Lots of problems uploading a bunch of photos into an album

Before uploading I made sure to verify the
The much bigger issue is that at some point something happened, perhaps a batch process in immich, that modified all the creation dates and suddenly all the images were marked as on the same date. There was no way I could manually correct all those images so I erased all the images from the album and tried to start from scratch.
Now some images are uploading successfully again and populating the album but immich is claiming a bunch are already in the album and wont upload them. I confirmed they are definitely not there.

However, if I inspect the individual image metadata in the album most have their dates off by one. I assume this is due to some incorrect timezone information and isn't the end of the world but I would like to fix it.The much bigger issue is that at some point something happened, perhaps a batch process in immich, that modified all the creation dates and suddenly all the images were marked as on the same date.
