Help w/ Metadata

I’m still relatively new to Calibre and I’m struggling with the metadata for my books. Not sure if there are some best practices or if anyone can suggest what I am doing wrong?

I just imported the entire Expanse collection. None of them were labeled as a series and most of them were missing descriptions. So, I went in and edited metadata, went to download and then found that depending on the book, it gave me a couple options. Sometimes they included what book in the series, sometimes they included new covers, and sometimes it included none of that.

Is there a way to make sure it always pulls the metadata from, say, Amazon itself? I tried pasting the ASIN from Amazon and then seeing what it pulls but it didn’t improve anything.

Is there a consensus best practice for getting accurate, complete Metadata information or is this just going to be a struggle?
