Phone watch health sync

I went backpacking and due to the heat (and not enough back up battery power) my Apple Watch was off for part of the time. I used the health app on my phone to back fill/add data. But, I am unable to get the health app to sync with my watch. How do I get the added data to show up on my watch?

Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 6

It won't show up on the watch any data entered manually in the health app stays in the health app.Your watch records the workout then uploads it to the activity and health apps and it can only upload what the watch has recorded.

If your battery was flat for part of the time then it wasn't recording anything.
