LIGHTROOM problem--Lr indicating wrong location in Folders Window

[Rupuze11]

Lightroom is not posting my images to their right location.

When I move images from my camera card to  my hard drive, I put them in a folder such as

        "  (K:)>Rays pics 2020>200324dogs"

When I import to Lightroom, I maneuver to the new folder, check the images to import, then click "import"

The images import, but show up as" (K:)>200324dogs"in the Folders Window--Lightroom has eliminated the branch of my tree which indicates "Rays pics 2020"---Lightroom did not do this for my 2019 pictures (>Rays pics 2019). 

If i Right click on the image,I can "Show in Explorer" correctly.

Is there a fix for this???

Right click on the folder visable, select show parent folder.

I've done that...Right clicking takes me to the correct location in Explorer...But Lightroom says it lives in the main trunk of drive k:
I did indicate that in my original question.

Thank you so much for answering.

If you think of anything else, please let me know.

Thanks,

Make sure you have a backup before any of thus

If you know they are not on K, right click on that and select Update Folder location.

Inquiry

In Windows, have you permantly assigned drive letters to your external hard drive(s)? If, not, they can get different drive letters assigned to them as devices get connected/disconnected, and what was drive K may then be drive (pick a letter)

Thank you so much!!
I was right-clicking on the Image, and not on the folder names in the Folders Window.

This was very helpful.

Please verify that you selected "show parent folder" and not "show folder in Explorer".

Lightroom likes to visually compress the folder tree. This often results in the need to right-click on the folder and force LR to "show parent folder", often multiple times.

If you import at test/junk image into the folder that you want to be shown at the top-most folder, LR will expand the folders below that on each import.
