auto backup and storage template

Hi, im essentially trying to create a backup server for my phone albums. I would like to automatically backup new pictures in an album on my phone, to an album on immich. I would also like to have the files saved in a folder labeled with the album name, and the file name unchanged.

currently what i have going is my phone set to backup my "camera" album, and Storage template set to {{album}}/{{filename}}

when i initially backed up, all the photos from my phone "camera" album were just dumped in the root library folder. running Storage template migration successfully put them into a folder called "camera"

When i take a new picture on my phone it goes to the "camera" album on my phone. it is then backed up to the immich library automatically as desired. however, the file is once again put in the root library folder, and isnt added to the "camera" album on immich . And running storage template migration does NOT move it to the "camera" folder.

How can i get new backups to go into the folder and album corresponding to their albums on my phone?
