Transferring Music to New iPhone

I upgraded from a 12 Pro to a 14 Pro. I cannot get my music to transfer correctly. I’m missing close to 3,000 songs. Is there a way to take my 12 Pro’s library and put it on my 14 Pro? I tried syncing with my laptop and redownloading purchases, which didn’t sync everything. I DO NOT have an Apple Music subscription, I primarily purchase on iTunes or buy digital files.

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 16

Manual management is not helping. A couple thousand songs are still not coming through. I wish I could Airdrop all these files to myself.. I'm getting errors about some of the music not having proper authorization, but I have checked the family sharing and everything looks good. This is a mess and I'm so frustrated.
