Need SiteId for Sharepoint site with no /sites/ in WebUrl

Question

I have a Sharepoint List that I need to send data to using Graph. But I can't figure out the SiteId of the site that the list is on. I've noticed that the url of this site is not in the standard format. It is missing the "/sites/". So, the web url of the list is [companyname].sharepoint.com/[sitename]/Lists/[listname]. When I use the search for sites Graph request using its name it does not appear. In my Sharepoint there is also an unused site with the exact same name that does include /sites/ in its WebUrl. I created an identical list on this other site. So that url is [companyname].sharepoint.com/sites/[sitename]/Lists/[listname]. I am able to find the SiteId of this other site by using a graph search request. With the SiteId I am able to send data to the duplicate list using my program, so I know my program is working. What could be causing the first site to appear this way? How to do I find it's SiteId?

I figured it out. I used this request to get the SiteId from the WebUrl:

GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/{companyName}.sharepoint.com:/{siteName}?$select=id
