You have naming issues.

My canned response is to see [https://support.plex.tv/articles/naming-and-organizing-your-tv-show-files/](https://support.plex.tv/articles/naming-and-organizing-your-tv-show-files/) and:  
If you want to save yourself a lot of time I would recommend using [Download - tinyMediaManager](https://www.tinymediamanager.org/download/release-v3/) and use `${title} (${year}) {imdb-${imdb}}` as the new name format.

Folder format:  
`${title} (${year})`

(Please note I linked to the v3 which is free to use)

Worst case you can do an export with [Releases · WebTools-NG/WebTools-NG · GitHub](https://github.com/WebTools-NG/WebTools-NG/releases) which should help you locate the miss-matched file. (You could also [plex dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064) it, and then look at date added)
