In an ePub, the cover is typically the first page but in a MOBI it is a separate record in the file - but Calibre should handle this for you. The best approach is always to edit the metadata in Calibre and explicitly select a cover image and make sure the title and author are what you want. Once the metadata is good, convert again to MOBI. I have found it hard to get Fire to "forget" a cover image once it has one, so try this first on a new ebook and when it is working try again on your existing ebooks. Also, you can select the cover from the navigation tab of an open ebook on the Fire. If there is no "cover" option the MOBI does not have one and that is why the thumbnail is also missing.
