Thumbnails not showing in iPad files app

I use iPad to transfer raw files of images to an external hard drive for back up when travelling. Sony A7iii files of approx 24 mb thumbnails appear. Sony A6700 files of approx 28 mb no thumbnail images appear. Images transfer OK but not able to view thumbnails. Will Apple update code soon for Sony A6700 raw images?
