So I have been a contributor for a while and have been contributing in facts and answers on Google Map but my badge still hasn’t changed the status or increased in number even though the entries have been accepted. Why is this happening?

Make sure you understand the rules around the badges and the Maps User Contributed Content Policy @SanaC as only valid contributions will be counted. Your image content is great, but its not all on the right places. As an example you’ve contributed a lot of images on a theatre in New York that are clearly from all over the city. You need to contribute images to the actual places.
You can learn about the badges here https://support.google.com/maps/answer/9197204 note each badge has multiple criteria and you must meat them all to get the badge or level of badge. The counts update periodically not as you contribute so give them some time.
You can read about the User Contributed Content Policy here https://support.google.com/contributionpolicy/answer/7422880
If I were in your position, I would review all my contributions and remove all those that aren’t compliant with the policy and rules and re-upload the content to the correct places.
