Album artwork doesn't match song or movie

This question is about my Apple Music and TV apps. I currently using OS Monterey (12.5.1) and Music/TV (1.2.5.7). I recently bought a new 14 Plus (iOS 16.0.2) and began syncing my phone to Music/TV. When it was done, the album cover artwork for many of my movies, playlists, and songs don't match. For example, I have a video of "The Little Mermaid" and the artwork is AC/DC's "For Those About to Rock". I'm not sure what happened because it was fine on my old phone. Is there a fix for this?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.5

Once I get to the folder there's an 'artwork' folder and three files: artworkd.sqlite, artworkd.sqlite-shm, artworkd.sqlite-wal. Do I delete all of them or just certain ones? Will this do anything to the actual music/movie files or just the artwork?

I believe you delete the whole Documents folder at that level, and empty the trash, then Music and TV are forced to start from scratch.

It seems that sometimes the artwork cache gets confused. You could try removing the artwork cache which should force Music/TV to rebuild it as you scroll through your library. The location should be ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.AMPArtworkAgent/Data/Documents where ~ is your user's home folder. Show hidden files and folders with Shift+Cmd+. to aid your navigation.
