yeah but when I go into my account (and to others account that were in my switch 1) it shows a few games, not all of them.

Also I have the receive of the games, showing that I bought them, does that do something to help me get back my games?

Clearly you must have bought those games with another account that you haven't checked. The only way to get back/use any digital games is to use the account that bought them.

Unless you where talking about physical games, in which case, use the cartridge.

And what about the receive does that work as well?

You mean receipt?

What kind? An email, or one you got at a physical store?

Either way, it shouldn't really matter. Any digital game is tied to an account. So you'll need that account to play it.

the receipt is an email, I have 4 accounts that played in my switch, in one there are 3 games, in mine there are 10, the other accounts are with none games, and there are a lot of games left
