Do you mean that if you export a book in KFX format and then import it back into calibre you only see a mobi-asin identifier? If so, that is normal.
KFX has only one ASIN metadata field. When producing KFX output the plugin checks for a "mobi-asin", "amazon", or "asin" identifier in that order. Whichever is found first becomes the ASIN of the KFX book. When importing back into calibre the ASIN metadata field from KFX format becomes the mobi-asin identifier. This is the same behavior as when importing other Kindle formats.
If you are refering to something else that is happening you will need to explain in more detail.

Those fields are not supported in KFX format. See "Updating book metadata" in the first post of the KFX Output plugin thread and "Reading book metadata" in the first post of the KFX Input plugin thread for more information.
