Unclear on what needs fixing in Large Cast request
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1972354/ This is a US Civil War Documentary miniseries from 2011 called "FIELDS OF VALOR: THE CIVIL WAR" that aired on cable TV (in 3D, as part of a 150th anniversary of the start of the Civil War). I made a large cast update submission request, and I seem to see conflicting info from the Contribution History, whether I click on the Reference or Case number itself, versus what I see when I click the "blue capsule" Track History for updates.
I need clarification regarding status, so I know what next steps to take. Basically there are 22 actors currently listed on IMDb for this miniseries. In actuality, 7 of those Actors in the Cast in IMDb were uncredited, which I updated via "Attribute," and several actors that ARE in the CREDITS do not appear in IMDb (9). When I viewed the series on DVD, in 4 episodes, I saw 5 panes of Cast Credits at the end of every episode, which I screenshotted and submitted to IMDb via an IMGUR "slideshow."
There were 4 episodes of the miniseries and there is no attempt by the filmmakers nor me to itemize a Civil War battlefield cast into per-Episode data. All the cast is listed as SERIES-WIDE, and the sequence of actors was the exact same after every episode. I see comments by IMDb on my submissions. As a note for myself, I think in the future, I am better served to submit large changes like this in parts, so I can clearly get a ruling and move forward per section. I think for this military regiment case, with a lot of battlefield action it is not quite realistic for IMDb contributors to itemize the cast per episode. As I point out, even the filmmakers themselves did not do this. They provided a static cast list at the end of every episode, even if certain cast members did not appear in every episode.
I submitted the "uncredited" updates as discussed (7), I added 9 of the credited actors who did not appear in IMDb at all. Lastly, I submitted several Cast Order corrections, moving the uncredited cast below the credited cast, and adjusting numbers as needed, to match the onscreen credits (which again, I provided screenshots of, four times). What am I missing in my approach here? Any light that can be shed will be tremendously appreciated.

I know that a large update will take time to be processed, but I also am not clear if because a snag or two with my request, if the entire thing is being scuttled. Either way, I just need to understand so I can take next steps. If it's just a matter of waiting, I'm happy to wait, as long as I know some portion of the request is still under consideration or processing.
Total cast should be 31, with the 24 credits persons and the 7 other uncredited actors added. Thank you.
