EOS R6 Mark II - black image preview on Mac mini

So I've just photographed my third wedding on my R6mk2 and noticed that in the Mac preview folder thingie, the images are blacked out. It put the fear of god into me when I first spotted it, I feared the files were corrupt, they weren't and I processed them in Lightroom without any trouble. The computer is no slouch, M2 pro with 16gig of Ram and plenty of free hard disk space (over 300gb on solid state). Older files from my 1dx (CR2 raw) preview just fine, it's only an issue with these CE3's. Should I be worried or just carry on regardless? Jpegs are fine, it's just the Raws. Here's a screen grab to help explain what I mean.

I would just carry on. Since the death of Aperture, Apple system raw support can be a bit flaky.

The raws are shown as supported:

But make sure your computer is up to date.

You can check if the raw support is there via "About this Mac"

Thanks for replying, I have got the latest OS and the R6mk2 does appear on that list, maybe it'll work with a future update. To be fair, sometimes, if I leave the image selected, after around ten seconds, it does appear, but it doesn't work for all files. Most odd.
