Hydrangea Transplant Shock?

Evening all.
This time last year, I moved house and took with me a stunning Hydrangea Macrophylla which always produced lovely flowers. It was only in my old garden for a couple of years since buying it so still fairly young. I planted it in an area with 3/4 hours of morning sun and afternoon shade, basically replicating the area it had thrived in the old garden. My soil is slightly acidic in both old and new garden. It didn't produce any flowers at all this year. It did however produce a lot of leaves and looked really healthy (before losing leaves in autumn).
Is it normal for this to happen when transplanting a Hydrangea? Is it maybe focusing on creating a new root system at the expense of flowers this year? Really hope it flowers in 2024!
