Timing of 403b transfer of VFIAX to VINIX impact on quarterly dividend payout?

My 403b plan transferred my entire VFIAX holdings to VINIX on 9/26. I understand the difference between the two and that they're essentially equivalent.

The VFIAX quarterly dividend record date is 9/26 and the payout date is 9/30. I see no dividend paid for this quarter in my transaction history for VFIAX as of today.

The quarterly dividend record date for VINIX was 9/23, prior to the incoming transfer so no dividend for me to see there.

Am I being deprived of a quarterly dividend by the timing of this transfer between the two funds?
