You currently cannot change the layout. Anything that’s not a regular album will be displayed as a single-row horizontal hub.  
There’s a feature suggestion asking to change this but it’s seen little attention from the community.

If you use the “Group Albums by Type” option, Plex Web displays the full, normal albums in a cascading collection of either covers or details, depending on which you choose, but all other classifications are forced to be viewed by side-scrolling. But, for example, composers like Bear McCreary only release Soundtracks, and that is seen by Plex as a subcategory and so we are forced to side-scroll thro…

You cannot currently modify the release type from within the Plex clients. Plex is picking this information up from MusicBrainz OR embedded metadata… so your choices are to fix a bad assignment at its source (waiting a few days for it to be approved by the MusicBrainz community and to replicate to the Plex databases) or to manually tag your files with MB based primary/secondary release type information.  
Similarly to the above there’s an existing suggestion asking for an option to override the assignment inside Plex (iirc that thread also contains a link to a description how to manually tag the files for Plex to recognize the release types)

> MusicBrainz is difficult to use. In addition, there are rare syncing issues where Plex does not reflect the Release Type on MusicBrainz. I propose a Feature Suggestion, a single dropdown field that would allow for a manual Release Type edit. The new feature would probably require 20 or fewer lines of code.
