Immich wrong upload date and time even though each container shows correctly when executing "date"

🚧Setup❓Question☑️Ready
Hi,

I've noticed I'm having a weird issue. Where I am it's currently 9:47PM on the 24th. But if I upload an image right now it shows the time and date as 2:47AM on the 25th. So it's showing 5 hours into the future.

Yet I have the TZ properly specified in the .env file. Also I docker exec into each of the 4 containers and ran the
date
date
command and each container shows the correct time and date. Also running
date +'%:z %Z'
date +'%:z %Z'
shows the correct timezone in each container. So I don't know where immich is pulling the time and date from?

Also when I go into the user settings on the immich webpage under "app settings" > "default locale" it's showing the correct date and time. So I'm very confused where it's getting these time and dates from when uploading.

I've verified the source devices have the correct date and time and that the image's metadata also shows the correct date and time.

So I'm wondering if anyone can help me fix this?
