MOV from live photos missing - HEIC remains but no "live" view option but live still embedded inside

I've just noticied that HEIC files, when uploaded get a corresponding MOV. I was checking redis availability and ran a thumbnail job where I noticed an absolute ton of errors about .mov files being missing.

I checked in the file system and it appears as though when the images were uploaded, immich transcoded the "live" part from the photo as a mov, which remained in the uploads folder.

The corresponding HEIC and potentially JPG (depending on when they were takin thanks to iOS) were then moved to the library folder, but whatever link in the database has been left.

the HEIC files are viewable in immich, but not live. Downloading them from immich and opening them on. a mac in photos shows the live image - so the data is still embedded.

This is complicated by the fact im not using iOS anymore and moved to Android.

At this point, im not sure what part has messed up - and don't expect much in the way of a solution to this - but is there any way for immich to regenerate the live aspect of the photos again, and stack them?
