How to fix it

Get the ISWC confirmed

Ask your society for the ISWC of the work. No ISWC often means an incomplete registration.
Complete what is missing (writers, splits, publisher) so the code can be assigned.
Share the ISWC with your distributor and publisher so platforms can match plays to the work.

Register the recording for neighbouring rights

Get the ISRC of the recording from your distributor or label.
Join the neighbouring-rights society of each country where the track is played (performers and producers can join).
Declare the recording with its ISRC and your role (featured, session, producer).
Claim the periods still open; in the US, also search SoundExchange's unclaimed list.
