"Shared with you" photos not showing in Photos Library

If I go into the Photos app and select "For You" I can scroll down and see "Shared with you" and see the photos I expect to see. I've also confirmed that the feature is enabled in system preferences. But when I go to the Library view they are not there. I also confirmed there with the filters that it's set to show "Yours & Shared".

This feature used to work for me but I accidentally turned off the "Shared with you" feature in Messages. After re-enabling I can't see to get the photos back in the Library view. Is there a way to backfill this?

I had already restarted my iPhone and it was on the latest version of iOS. Looking at it now it is showing the images I would expect to see. So this can probably be closed as a non-issue. I'm guessing it just takes time to index all the images in such a way? When I filtered to just "Shared with you" yesterday it showed what I expected but not in the combined view. But seems to be working fine now
