"The new metadata from my preset does appear correct in the metadata panel of Lightroom Classic, but the same metadata is not reflected in the information of the actual file."
By default, changes to a photo's metadata are stored in the catalog but not written back to the file. There will be a down-arrow icon in the upper-right corner of the thumbnail, indicating changed metadata hasn't been written back:
You can save the changed metadata fields back to the file by doing the menu command Metadata > Save Metadata To File.
Alternatively, you can set the preference Catalog Settings > Metadata > Automatically Write Changes Into XMP. There's no performance penalty for doing this. But beware that if you change the metadata of many photos, they will all appear as "changed" to your backup program and need re-backing up, which may or may not be an issue for you.
