Immich backup not adding photos to album

Hi, I have a question regarding the immich-app backup feature.

In the immich-app I selected an the local album "Camera" which should be uploaded. When i ran the backup job for the first time an album with the name "Camera" was created on the immich server. Each picture that got uploaded was automatically added to said album.

After a while I switched phones, installed the immich app again, and selected the "Camera" folder for backup. The photos still get uploaded but I couldnt find a way to automatically add the pictures to the correct album "Camera" on the immich server. All pictures uploaded from the new phone have no album assigned to them.

There is the sync albums toggle in the select albums view. I tried switching it on an off but it didnt seem to make a difference.

Is there any way to fix that?

Immich server version: 137.3
Immich app version: 1.135.3 (latest on f-droid)

Thanks a lot!

Best regards
