Wrong MLA works cited page. How do I fix it?

DaajeO
For my masters thesis I need to cite a chapter of a book. But for some reason Zotero keeps citing it wrong. So instead of

Last name, First name. "Title of Essay." Title of Collection [in italics], edited by Editor's Name(s), Publisher, Year, Page range of entry.

I get

Last name, First name. Title of Essay [in italics]. edited by Editor's Name(s), Publisher, Year, book series

Zotero and Word are both updated. I have tried deleting and adding the citation back manually but nothing has changed. I have also tried if removing the name of the book series helps but that does nothing to add the book title in. Its so weird, this is the first time I'm having problems like this in Zotero. Can someone help?

    The style should do that correctly (see e.g. the preview on zotero.org/styles ). What happens when you create a bibliography by right-clicking on the item --> Create bibliography from selected item?

    And if that also doesn't look right, can you post a screenshot of the right-hand panel of that item?

    Well, thank you for commenting so fast! I'm a bit embarassed to say, that in the mean time the problem has somehow solved itself xD It began with Zotero picker not re-entering the entry into my library, followed by me manually re-entering it. Somehow that seems to have solved it, but I have no clue whatsoever how that worked. Here's a screenshot of the new Zotero entry for anyone having a similar problem, maybe there is a difference you can spot
