You could try your luck with this procedure.

Also make sure to not use the old decrepit Internet Explorer. Get Chrome or Firefox.  
Make sure you don’t use any web browser extensions which block parts of a website (AdBlock, ScriptBlockm uBlock etc pp).

That doesn’t work either but I have noticed that I have I have two servers that I can access one being my laptop and I can edit this media fine and a local host where all of my media is and this is the media I can’t edit.

Hold down the Ctrl key and press the minus key a few times. I am guessing you have zoomed the display so that the other tools are now appearing under the More button (three dots). Screenshot showing same server/library item in different browsers, one zoomed which forced other options to be moved under the More button.

I just removed 1.12.0 from my laptop test PMS and installed the 1.4.3 version and do not have the edit link. 1.4.3 is what the Shield ships with. You might want to login to your Google Play account and update the Plex Media Server to the current release.
