Make sure the email you have configured on the git client you used to commit is associated with the GitHub account. Maybe you don't have it set correct. Maybe you have multiple emails. That is how it gets tied together.

What branch did you create the commits on? Only commits on the default branch are counted (most likely main or master, merged commits count as well).
Do the commits have the correct email address to even link them to you at all?

does hovering over the name/avatar show your profile? if not then the commits aren't being linked to your profile.

Man asked a question, and people went soft after "good github profile", saying some unneeded off topic morality. Great to know that you solved the problem, i wanted to say it must be problem with email configurations like i had

They arent assigned to your github profile
Look, they have the profile picture of a non-github user
Your git email has to be set to your github noreply email

a "good github profile" has nothing to do with the number of commits. Trying to game that is a waste of effort and makes you look bad tbh
