Im having an Issue in syncing safari bookmarks and photos on my MacBook Pro

My Safari Bookmarks on my Mac doesn't sync, photos as well doesn't sync although all my devices have recent OS such as Golden Gate and iOS 27, and the issue was there even before updating. my iPhone 16 Plus and iPad 11' Pro Syncs only my Mac Pro 14-inch, 2023 doesn't sync Bookmarks and Photo, although it syncs other things such as contacts and files, and I tried everything such as turning of syncing in iCloud and Turing it back on after restart etc.

I would recommend literally putting the devices side-by-side, going to System Settings, clicking your name at the top and then comparing:

The Apple Account you are logged into (the email address should match)
Each of the various settings under iCloud

If you are logged into the same Apple Account on all device and iCloud settings match, then everything should sync correctly. If not, you could have other issues related to networking. In general that means:

Uninstall any security software or services you have installed on your router beyond a typical NAT firewall
Disable any security product "offers" that your ISP has recommended or installed
Uninstall all anti-virus or 3rd party security software you have installed on your Mac or iOS devices
Uninstall any VPNs you have installed on your Mac or iOS devices
Uninstall any DNS profiles you have installed on your Mac or iOS devices
