Because the WordPress 301 redirect is not always reliable, we recommend issuing the 301 redirect via your . htaccess file. Another benefit is that the . htaccess redirect is slightly faster than redirecting via PHP, because it is loaded even before the rest of the page.
RedirectMatch uses a regular expression that is matched against the URL path. And your regular expression /contact.php just means any URL path that contains /contact.php but not just any URL path that is exactly /contact.php. So use the anchors for the start and end of the string (^ and $):
RedirectMatch 301 ^/contact\.php$ /contact-us.php
This should do it
RedirectPermanent /contact.php /contact-us.php
redirect 301 /contact.php /contact-us.php
There is no point using the redirectmatch rule and then have to write your links so they are exact match. If you don't include you don't have to exclude! Just use redirect without match and then use links normally
