Add O365 Group Owner to Site Collection Administration List
ChrisFicekin the new SPO admin center, select the site, then look at the info panel, if the group is disconnected from the owner role, a message box will show up with a link to reconnect it.
@Chris Ficek No idea what kind of bug hapened, but running the Get-SPOUser command shows that both groups (with or without _o at the end of GUID) gets the same display name of "XXX Members", whereas for other sites it shows "XXX Members" and "XXX Owners":
As you can see, the "XXX Members" group is part of SP Members and SP Owners, that's because I have tried forcing the GUID ending "_o" into the SP Owners group to see if it would at least get the right group as owner in the background, even with wrong display name, but unfortunately it picks the "XXX Members" one.
Is there a way to rename the group ending "_o" to "XXX Owners" in your mind? Or any sollution comes to your mind with this added info?
Your help is very much appreciated
Thanks

I've tried Powershell (Set-SPOUser) and same problem. Is there a fix?
OrangeJuiceJones If above suggestions are not working for you, try using Power automate flow / REST API to add group to SCA programmatically as show in below article:

OrangeJuiceJones, its been a few years since I've encountered this issue. Have you tried going to SharePoint Admin Center > Locate the active site and select it to get to the site settings. I am curious if there is a message that is prompt to add the group owners as admins is still.
