iMessage splitting group conversations into multiple threads

I have an iPhone 14 Pro and a new Macbook Pro using Sonoma 14.6.1. My iMessages are synced through iCloud on all my Apple devices. As of last week, group conversations on my MacBook are splitting into multiple threads. When I create a group text, the replies come back separately. This is not happening on my phone, just on my laptop.

I'm a T-Mobile customer; just switched back to iPhone and my group text includes only other iPhone users. Randomly, a reply from another person in the group will start a separate group iMessage thread. It's not the same person's phone initiating the issue. I do have iMessage on my MacBook Pro, but I'm not sure I've ever actually used it to message in this group text.

iMessage on iMac does not seem to be syncing correctly. I have been having this problem as well. I am only participant in the group with 2 devices. I will get random instances where the thread will say I changed the name when I did not. I will erase the duplicate thread and have to manually sync iMessage on my Mac for a temporary fix. But the problem is ongoing.
