Common iPhone Contacts Not Backing Up Scenario: So I just upgraded my iPhone 8 to an iPhone XS.

On my old iPhone 8, it says my last iCloud backup was 11/14/19 (it's about half years ago) and I have went to my iPhone XS and turned the contacts off then back on, my contacts still not backing up to iCloud. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
