User level: Level 1 (4 points)iPadPro4 27.0 is not syncing my photos that are on my 17pm 27.0
I have closed all other apps and restarted, still missing photos from yesterday. Both devices show they are synced up to date. My cloud storage and iPad storage are only about 25% full.

You don't mention your iPhone storage. t Settings>General>iPhone Storage, my phone says 50.5 GB of 128 GB used. What does yours say?
An iPhone and an iPad don't sync with each other-- they both synchronize with iCloud Photos. What do you see at Photos at iCloud.com? Are all your iPhone's pictures there? Are pictures that you take with your iPad at iCloud.com?
Have you tried a forced restart on your devices?
Force restart iPhone - Apple Support
This is different from a simple Power Off. For me, the logo appears 5 or 10 seconds past the "slide to power off" message. Wait for the logo; don't do the slide thing.
You can see this:

You didn't say what you saw at iCloud.com
Take a picture with your iPad and see if it shows up at iCloud.com

Great! Forced re-start is indeed a handy tool when crazy things happen on the iPhone!
