- If it are apps from HCS (Community store), and/or if they were installed by using the CLI tool, they’ll have to be installed by you again.  
The backup only saves the links to apps a available from the app store @ homey.app
- If they are not (yet) updated apps (SDK2), they’re not compatible with Pro 2023 → [click for info](https://community.homey.app/t/homey-pro-early-2023-app-unsupported-list/70324)

I assume you installed them via homey.app and did not select your new Homey yet. IOW you ‘installed’ them on your ‘old’ Homey

I’d suggest to factory reset Pro 2023 and start over
