How can I find my Quicken backups (Q Mac)

Question

I just upgraded my 2018 MacBook Pro from Mojave to Big Sur and my Quicken program has all my bank account information messed up.  All my accounts appear as if I am -$40,000 short.  I noticed that if I go all the way down till I see my first 2016 entry there are several 2021 entries below 2016.  I checked and they are duplicate entries from up above 2021.  I deleted these erroneous entries and now my balance is closer to the actual bank statement.  I entered a new deposit and it got registered all the way down at the bottom below the 2016 entries.  Anybody know what is happening to my program?  This problem only happened to one of my bank accounts.

RickO, one other thing that I just noticed.  I am trying to correct a "Medicare" payment dated 02/20/21.  I click on it and it sends me down to an old Medicare payment dated 03/20/20.  I don't want to correct the payment for 03/20/20, I want to correct 02/20/21.  I can't figure out what is going on with this program.

My register is sorted by date.  I did find the "backups" but all ~20 of them are a copy of my screwed up present files and only minutes apart.  The "Live Opening Balances" are all wrong but there are also other mistakes.
    1 - I found ~10 payments of $3,000.00 to one of my credit cars.  I never paid that much.  I deleted those entries but the total is still way off.
    2 - I tried to add a payment for Netflix dated 03/02/21 and I searched all the way down the list of entries till I got to 02/13/20.  So now it shows "02/13/20" - "03/02/21" - "02/14/20".  That is impossible!
    3 - I added several other entries that cleared one of my accounts but all the entries ended at the bottom of everything going back to 2016.  Each time I add an entry the program sends me down to the bottom of the list at which time I have to click and drag the small icon on the right side of the page to bring me back up to the top.
    4 - I have one bank which I frequently transfer money from one account to the other.  The problem is that one account already has the entry of "a transfer" but the other does not.  So, when I add the transfer to that account now I have 2 entries in the other account.
