To fix it without a computer:

Turn Sync Library OFF → restart → ON
Remove greyed-out songs from your library
Re-add them from Apple Music
Allow explicit content if needed
Sign out/in of Media & Purchases

If the songs came from your old computer and are not on Apple Music, the only solution is to recover the original files.

The Greyed out files were from CD’s I added by a CD drive so that’s why they didn’t transfer from my iPhone to iPad
