Messages App Shows Unread Messages But I Can't Find Them

The other day I went through my messages because I had nearly 700 unread texts (I know its a problem lol). Now when i go into a message thread the back button in the top left corner will say 1 or 2 messages depending on how many i have at the moment (like normal), but when i go to my home screen it says i have 121 + whatever number of unread messages i actually have. I have restarted, re-synced, and checked my messages apps on my other devices. What can i do?

I have checked the filters AND I am still showing “2” unread messages on the message app display BUT NOT in the filters.

I also went thru EVERY message & contact to see if anything with a sticker or something was unread. That reduced a few. But still WONKY.
