I wrote an FAQ about this here. It contains various things you can try.
Another possibility is that the address corresponds to an imported private key. In the past electrum used to allowed you to import private keys into HD wallets. These imported private keys are not restored when you restore from seed. So is this an address of an imported private key?
There are too many reasons for that, you should provide more details, but I'll share some possible reasons:
your 12-word mnemonic phrase is extended by an extra word (password), To fix there's an option while you are restoring your wallet, you should select and pass in your password.
derivation path, if you were using legacy bitcoin addresses so you should use path 44, Segwit 49, bech32 Segwit 84
electrum has their own bip39 wordlist, so if you are not importing electrum mnemonic phrase, you should select that option while importing.
