Android Central Question

I just moved to a new Android phone (LG G6 -> Pixel 3). When I set the phone up I agreed to restore from my backup but some app data did not restore. If I go to the Google backup settings on my old phone (Settings -> General -> Backup -> Google backup) and look at the app data I see all of the apps I need data from...but if I go to the same page on the new phone, the list only includes Google apps. The phone did reinstall all of the apps I had on the old phone, just didn't restore data to *some* of them.

Is there a way to force that restore for particular apps again (I don't think so), or can anyone recommend an app to allow transferring data for particular apps (without rooting), or can anyone point me to how to move app data manually? (I tried coping the com.xxx.xxx folder from the old phone to the new phone, no luck)

Thank you!
