Missing Movies After Library Scan

A few weeks ago I added Sonarr and Radarr to my Plex setup. This required a major structure change to how my movies were filed. Originally I had them as individual files unless it was a series of movies, but Radarr required each movie to be in its own folder.

My media is housed on a Synology NAS and Plex, Sonarr, and Radarr are running on a Mac Mini M2 which has AutoMounter installed in case a network connection drops (auto empty trash is also turned off thanks to suggestions in here.) In this conversion, I did a movies reset and started fresh. But now I've got over 100 movies that aren't showing up in Plex even though the files are in the Movies folder and properly named.

I did a test and if I go back to the old way, leaving movies in the root folder, they show in Plex after a library scan but not in Radarr. I'm at a loss for what's going on. It's like after a certain number of movies in individual folders, Plex just stops being able to count that high.

Any ideas on what might be causing this?

Note: I've been moving movies over 25 at a time and every 75-100 I've manually optimized the database to help keep things working well... I thought.
