Okay, so Sonarr handles metadata for me, I have Jellyfin's metadata refreshing turned off. I found Sonarr did a better job and handling that end of things for me. Could this be partially due to the fact that you have two different naming conventions going on here? Your episodes are zero-padded while your season folders are not. There might be something more than that going on, but without looking at more of a snapshot of folder trees, the library config in Jellyfin, and maybe even the media config in Sonarr, it may be hard to diagnose the issue. Lots of cooks in the kitchen on this one.
EDIT: Something to note is that if you have Sonarr create the structure that Jellyfin expects (including zero-padded season folders -- and it can do this automatically), you can also have it create NFO files and scrape images for you that Jellyfin can use and it'll put them in the right locations as well. So I have Sonarr handle all of that, put everything in the right spot, I turn off metadata refreshing entirely, but Jellyfin will still fetch missing images (I allow for several fanart, banner, backdrop, etc... images per series/movie). It's a pretty neat setup that has been working for probably the last 2+ years for me.
