A frustrating issue involving album cover integration on Apple Music.

For context: Recently an album released which I already had songs from it "saved" in my library under a different album cover from what would come of it, though it had the same title, artist, sorting, and track names. Upon the release, I noticed that the cover of the official release was for some reason replaced the cover I had saved in my local files, along with the release info being a random date & ID as seen in the image below. (This is happening solely on my iPhone. Any other device shows album information correctly.)


Going into the Properties tab & manually changing it has done nothing for me at it seems to delete whatever image I set as the default and instead prioritizes my local files cover over it and refuses to change at all. This is a minimal but very bothering issue for me, and so far nothing I've tried has resulted in anything. Is there any actual way to fix what is happening???
