So far so good. Maybe you pick an example, a media file that is not detected by Jellyfin and we can work from there. Jellyfin does not "care" so much about folders per-se you could (not recommend though) just put all movies into one folder and JF would be fine with it, folders just "extend" the metadata to a certain degree but jellyfin itself looks for the actually media files.
However, we generally recommend a folder structure akin to this:
.../Movies/MOVIE NAME(YEAR)/MOVIE NAME(YEAR).extension
.../Series/Series NAME(YEAR)/Season XX/SERIES NAME(YEAR).SXX.EXX.extension
Here is an example of a movie that gets detected:

Here is a movie that doesn't:
