I'm not sure what to fix.

Let's give the benefit of the doubt to Google and say they're constantly revising their algorithms; even then, due to the sheer amount of video uploaded to YouTube every day, there will be some of them that are misidentified, it's simply unavoidable IMHO.

I think the improvement can be made on the smoothness and speed of disputing/reviewing these claim, though. This process should be as short and painless as possible, for sure.

In OP's case, considering it only seems to be a couple of hours, I think everything is still OK-ish at this point.

I didn't notice the timeline of the OP's post, but they could pressure Youtube to implement something that requires manual review before action is taken, instead of automatic action. Especially with a genre that typically has lots of similar recordings of out-of-copyright compositions.
It's an entire genre that ContentID is incompatible with.
