Thanks for your help and i finally got it to show "Your Photos" on the wallpaper app, i wish i cold take the credit but i simply read others fix for the problem in Tahoe,

"To fix it for me i opened a photo in the photos app and pressed the share icon and selected "Set Wallpaper". This took a good minute before anything happened but the photo was then set on the desktop AND all the missing photos options appeared!" Looks like the Mac Community came through after all! Cheers!
