Please help me understand Release Profiles

Sonarr version (exact version): 3.0.4.1139
Mono version (if Sonarr is not running on Windows):
OS: Win 10
Debug logs:n/a
Description of issue: Sonarr chose x264 over x265

I mistakenly thought setting release profiles would encourage Sonarr to prefer releases with the words I specified. This morning, in spite of there being an HEVC.x265 1080p release of a program, Sonarr chose to download an x264 release. My Release Profiles have three items under “preferred” - x265, h265 and HEVC, each with a score of 75.

How can I ask Sonarr to prefer HEVC releases? Are my scores too low? Do I have to use “must contain”? There’s a few releases that don’t come out in HEVC so I stopped using that.

Help appreciated!

Preferred words, but your quality profile will still win, both in preferring the higher quality release and only grabbing wanted qualities.

Debug logs will tell you why each release was rejected (or accepted) and interactive search will show you the order Sonarr prefers the results.
