Plex Media Server Version Linux after upgrade some tv shows new content does not appear after scan library files

Server Version#:1.24.3.5033
Player Version#:
So oddly, after updating to new linux server version, some new added content would not show up after scan library files. The naming did not change so for example: s06e01, s06e02,s06e03 that was in after the upgrade, was still there, add episodes: s06e04 s06e05 with identical names…would not show up but s06e06, s06e07 would show up. Very random problems. Drove me insane for a weekend. I have been using this same linux ubuntu server for many years and have never had issues…
My Users also reported that multiple ghost shows up in their media player using that linux server in error. tv show A shows up in tv show B content. I verified that the shows were in the correct folders.
I am writing this incase anybody needs a sanity check. In addition to the linux server, I also run 2 windows servers as well, and updated them at the same time and they access the same nas storage folders as my linux server and they did not have the issues, and all tv shows updated correctly, and no missing or ghost shows showing up in the wrong content folders for windows servers.
I first tried the clean bundles and empty trash for tv_shows folder…this did not help.

The only fix that seemed to work was to >manage library > delete (remove tv shows: /home/dq/nas/public/plex/tv_mc) and re-add the tv show folder using >manage library > edit > add folder using the same folder path (/home/dq/nas/public/plex/tv_mc) to the linux server. The folder path in the file path is a mounted nfs to a static ip address/folder wd mycloud. Then, all new meta-data downloaded and refreshed which took about 12 hours. Now the folders seem to be refreshing with new shows data that I have added.
