Authors with same names

When there is more than one author with the same name, Goodreads uses extra spaces between first and last name to separate these author profiles.
Best way to add a new book: go to the list of books of the correct author profile. https://www.goodreads.com/author/list...
At the bottom of the page is a note: "these are all the books on Goodreads for this author. To add more books, click here." When you use the link "click here" the author name is added with the correct number of spaces in the "add a new book" page.
When you use that link, don't worry about spaces, no need to check if there are multiple authors with the same name, the book will end up on the right author profile.
However, the author link leads to the wrong Alexis Hall.
This is the correct author page: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
and this is the author page the book links to: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
Can someone explain to me what I did wrong and how to make it right and make sure it doesn't happen again?
Thank you in advance.
