Can't move/copy files to other site

We control a tenant that has 2 sites.

We want to move files from the "Shared Documents" Document Library in site A to the "Shared Documents" Document Library in site B.

However when selecting a destination to move/copy to, I can't select or see site B.

These are both Modern Document Libraries.

I enabled custom scripting, I am the tenant admin, I have the correct permissions for everything.

Thanks in advance!

I fixed it?

I added a new clean site to the existing hub in which site A and B are connected.
And now both site A,B and the new test site all show up in the "choose a destination" menu.

Maybe something went wrong with the hub functionality and it needed a refresh of some sorts.

How long ago was site B created, and have you created or edited any content in site B yet?

  Hey Rob, thanks for responding!
  
  The sites were both created 2 months ago (3/15).
  They are both currently in use.
  
  Site B is more active than A however, A has more data.

    When you select the move/copy option - do you see other sites to select from? e.g. is it just site B that is missing?
