After using a USB on my android, freefilesync wants to update all the files?

I didn't touch or use all these files. I already synced one of my backup folder because I know I made changes to some of the files and I didn't notice any differences at all in a few files I checked. Why is this happening though? This is a folder I know I didn't touch anything on. I was using my USB on my android phone, and now I am using it on my laptop. The image is an example from a coding project I'm doing, a speech to text system.

Android use usually doesn't maintain timestamps and typically changes them to the time of syncing. This also then causes them to be "newer" than the other copies as you see here. I had to switch the comparing by file size only in the config settings for my phone syncs.
