iOS Music app splitting albums marked as compilation

I’m having issues with album tagged as compilation on the music app. On macOS they show correctly:



But on my iPhone they show up as multiple albums, on for each of the artist in the compilation:



I’ve read a work around is just using "Various Artists" as the album artist (which I don’t like to do anyway because I don’t want to add a fake artist) but if I do that, yes it shows up as just one album, then it shows the artist from the first song as the album artist instead of "various". I tried checking and unchecking the compilation option and syncing again, but it doesn’t work either. Anyone know a way to fix this?

iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 18
