Lots of problems uploading a bunch of photos into an album

I tried to upload a couple thousand old images into Immich. I created a new album and uploaded them via the web interface into that album. If I upload any other way there is no way to find the recently uploaded files to add them into the album.

Before uploading I made sure to verify the Date/Time Original EXIF data on all the images. I uploaded the files to the album in batches. They seemed to get organized by month correctly in the album view. 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. 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.
