Manual import leads to "episode missing from disk"

Sonarr version (exact version): 4.0.15.2941
Mono version (if Sonarr is not running on Windows):
OS: running in docker (ghcr.io/hotio/sonarr:latest)
Debug logs: i checked the logs right after the manual import, there is nothing inside which is interesting regarding this
Description of issue:

I’m downloading a series, and some episodes show this error

InuYasha 102 UNCENSORED GerJapDub GerSub DL DVDRip

    Episode 1x02 was unexpected considering the InuYasha 102 UNCENSORED GerJapDub GerSub DL DVDRip folder name
    Episode 1x02 was not found in the grabbed release: InuYasha 102 UNCENSORED GerJapDub GerSub DL DVDRip

The error is always the same, only the episode number is different. Okay, so I go to Activity > Queue (it doesn’t show up under > wanted > missing btw) and there I see the episodes that are causing problems. I click on one and then on the little man on the right. The new import screen immediately shows me the correct path for the episode. So I click on it and then on “Import.” It takes a few seconds, and then the episode disappears from the queue and I get an “Episode imported” message. Good. But now I go back to the “Series” tab and into the series. Instead of seeing “everything is fine” here, I get a new error message. The one shown above now says “Episode missing from disk.”

After the (actually correct) manual import, the episode also disappears from my /usenet/complete folder. But the episode is missing from the series’ data directory.

For orientation: i am using sabnzbd, complete downloads are in /usenet/complete so sonarr can import them.

Turns out it’s a classic layer 8 problem. My fix: go to the queue, click the problematic content, manual import > right there select the correct season and episode number and import it.

All the time I only clicked „import“ but didn’t choose the correct season/episode to import.
