The affiliate is related to where the device was bought and possibly where books are bought. I assume they get a cut from book sales through the Kobo store. But, they have some say in how updates are rolled out and some affiliates also have some changes specific to them. FNAC and WalMart have the boot logo replaced by their own logo. FNAC have also turned off some of the sleep options so that the book cover cannot be displayed full screen. Changing the affiliate to something else for these reasons has been well discussed over the years

If books you have purchased aren't appearing, and you think you have multiple Kobo accounts, then that is probably the most likely reason. But, if that isn't the case, they should sync and it is really a matter of making sure the device is syncing. If you have left the device alone for a while, I'd probably sign out of the device and back in. With a check to make sure I had the right account. That would ensure that everything was up to date.
