Garmin Connect not syncing the correct data with other apps

I have a Garmin Instinct 2 and iPhone 13 Pro. 

Although I set up everything correctly and enabled sync between Garmin Connect and Apple Health, I noticed that steps are not showing correctly when automatically pushed to Apple Health. 

It's always that I have a lot more steps on Garmin than in Apple Health. A friend of mine has the same problem with his Instinct 2 synced with an Android smartphone and Google Fit.

I already tried deactivating and reactivating sync as well as deleting all data and starting over, but with no success. The number of steps is always different by 500-1000 steps between Garmin and Apple Health.

But then I just noticed it's not the same amount of steps shown in the Dashboard of Garmin Connect App, and detailed section when you click onto Steps in Dashboard. Actually the number that is shown in the detailed section is the wrong one, and this one is pushed to Apple Health. When you refresh the detailed section by swiping down, the number changes to the actual number from Dashboard and synchronizes it instantly with Apple Health and will then be correct. This should be fixed and implemented into automatic sync rather than needing to manually refresh the Steps section to have it correctly synced to Apple Health or Google Fit.
