Reloading Apple photos from Dropbox folder

I had a major problem upgrading an iphone and bottom line lost all my UGC from 2020-2024 (corrupted back up).
I have all the iphotos from that period in Dropbox. I want to put them back onto my phone. I tried synching them but what happened was they all went in with the current date and time and lost the meta data.

Anyone have any idea how I get around this? It failed to recognize locations and dates.

    Can you please let  us know the exact steps you took to do this? 

    I mean, how did you sync your photos on your phone in the first place?

    Let us know more information and we'll take it from there.
