EOS R5 Mark II - GPS with iPhone Unreliable

Hello.  I just returned from Ethiopia where I used my new R5 Mark II for the first time.  Unfortunately, even though I kept my iPhone in my pocket the entire time whenever I was shooting, half of my images don't have GPS tagging information.  What do I need to do to ensure that all of my images will get geotagged for my next trip?  I would occasionally open the Canon CameraConnect app on my iPhone and I could import images from my camera, but other than that, I made the assumption that every time I would pick up my camera and take a picture, the camera would connect to the iPhone to get the GPS tagging information.  All of the videos I took with my iPhone were geotagged but the still images I took at the same location with my camera aren't.  I really wish Canon wouldn't have removed the built in GPS feature that was on the Canon 5D Mark IV which I upgraded from.

I use a Garmin 601 and HoudahGeo on the Mac to geocode. Much more reliable. 

As for why, as said it is good to know the exact location. Was that picture taken at Arches or Red Rocks? I visited both the same day. Also, Apple Photos allows you to search by location.
