How to evaluate unsupervised clustering metrics when some elements do not have a cluster label in the result?

I run algorithms like HDBSCAN and MeanShift, and compare them with K-means and GaussianMixture. The first two algorithms do not return cluster labels for some elements in the dataset. My question...
