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.
