Import not reflecting parent folder properly

Hi - I need help determining if I am doing something wrong, if something has changed or if I'm hitting a bug with Lightroom Classic.
When I import picutures, LRC is not reflecting the proper catalog folder structure (speciifcally, the imported pictures only show the folder the pictures are in but none of the parents are refected - this is causing the folder to be out of position in the LRC folder structure navigation panel). SHOW PARENT FOLDER and UPDATE FOLDER LOCATION have not helped with fixing this problem. I believe I'm using the same import process I've used for years but perhaps something has changed? Process described below:
1. Store pictures on disk - structure is "Personal/YYYY/MM/DESC"
2. Import ADD into LRC
The result is the LRC folder strucutre shows the DESC folder as an orphan. I can use SHOW PARENT FOLDER and UPDATE FOLDER LOCATION iteratively until I get to the YYYY folder but that structure is never shown under the parent "Personal".
Any input on what I should do differently is appreciated - all I want to do is import pictures into the catalog so the catalog folder structure matches the disk structure. Screen shots attached showing after import, after SHOW PARENT FOLDER and after UPDATE FOLDER LOCATION.
