iPhone 17 album artwork wrong but is correct in iTunes on PC or Mac

New phone had successfully transferred most of my apps and all the music that was on my SE 1st gen. Most of that music had come from iTunes 12.xx on my old iMac and many of those albums were ripped into iTunes from CDs I own with some band camp, pledge music and other paid downloads. Only 2 songs ever purchase from apple music.

I do not let the phones sync as I don't want my entire music library on my phones. On the PC I had just a small library of songs and decided to use the iPhone 17 with the PC since newer OS and newer iTunes 12.9.3. Adding just 2 songs from the PC to the new phone wiped out the library on the phone and left those songs along with the only 2 Apple purchases. It turns out that 'Prevent iPhones from Automatically syncing' had become unchecked so I checked it.

I figured it was not a problem since I want to take the raw music files on the iMac and put them on the PC itunes since the iMac not used much. I added a couple of albums from the PC onto the iPhone 17 to start putting it back to matching my old phone by selecting all the songs in an album in iTunes and right clicking, add to Device, iPhone 17 and it transferred the albums but put the wrong album cover pictures on those which happened to be band camp purchases. The album art is correct in iTunes on the PC so the iPhone music app must be messing it up. The the album covers that it incorrectly used on 3 albums is not in my PC iTunes library though at least one of them is in my iMac iTunes library. I do not have anything synced on iCloud, all music and photos backed up on computers.

ITunes PC seems to work fine and I had just updated to ios26.2 with no problems. I prefer to use a hard wired connection for backups and updates. It did fix the no internet connection on 4g problem.

Not sure how to correct the iPhone 17 music when it's fine in the iTunes library.

Any thoughts on how to fix this? I wondered about the Apple Music app but that can't do ios updates and I want to manually control what songs go to the phone.
