The expected behavior is if the Content Type and Fields don't match at the destination, then only the document(s) move. In fact, you will be alerted with a message that the file contains properties that will be lost at the new destination.
You will have to ensure that the Content Type(s) as in the source library are available in the destination library. For example - you have a field/column in source library which was added in a specific custom content type and this content type was then added to your source library, you will have to ensure that similarly the same name content type with the field is created and added to your destination library for the files to move along with metadata.
Please let us know.
Thanks.
