Sync GL account subcategories, and G/L account categories from one company to another

Trying to copy the gl/gl account detail/custom financial reports from one company to several other companies in Business Central. We have went into the Master Data Mgmt and snychronized the GL Account and GL Account Category. They are both enabled as are all of the fields in each. We have checked the “overwrite local change”. It shows the sync in the log, but nothing sync’d. I have tried the “overwrite” in general financial reports.
I did notice that there were several blank lines with gl account number at the top of the G/L Account Categories screen, along with the proper ones farther down. It won’t let me delete them in the edit, but the companies that failed all have that same list, where the ones that were successful did not. I feel if they were gone it might work properly (thats a guess). But until i can figure out whats stopping it, i cannot sync what is needed.
Thank you
