Tani-Rae , One of the features of ofx or qfx imports is that GnuCash checks each transaction to see if it has already been imported, and if so, it will not import it again. Sometimes the process gets corrupted and the transactions seem to be lost.
The easiest way to check if this is your problem is to create a new data file and try importing the transactions into it. It has to be a new data file, not a copy of an existing file. If that works, there is a way to export those transactions from that file in csv format and then import them into a copy of your main file. Others here can help you with that if you need help. A word of warning, large imports can be error prone. see other threads here for tips to help with that.
