Media not placed in designated folder

I recently rearranged my folder structure due to downloads and processed files being placed in root folders (warnings from Sonarr and Radarr). I separated the downloads and set up Movies as C:/Movies/Movies and TV Shows as C:/TV/TV Shows for the processed files in SAB Categories.
TV Shows are going to the right folders and Plex sees them however SAB shows movies going to C:/Movies/Movies but Windows Explorer has them in C:/Movies so Plex doesn't see them. I can manually move them to C:/Movies/Movies and Plex picks them up.
Could it be my naming or is something else going on?
I'm using the latest SABnzbd with Windows 10 on a NUC. The Plex server is on the NUC and I watch through a Shield and the Plex app.
Any hints appreciated.

You say "C:/Movies/Movies", but it is Windows, so ... don't you need C:\Movies\Movies. Could that be the problem?

I'm sorry, that's a typo. It should read C:\Movies\Movies. SAB moves processed files to C:\Movies\Movies but Windows has the files in C:\Movies.

OK.
Can you post relevant screenshots on
https://postimages.org/ (for example), and post the link here?
Also: can you check in sabnzbd.log what SAB is doing?

I'm not sure what screenshot I should show but I checked the log and SABnzbd moved the unpacked files to C:\Movies\Movies.
Looking at Radarr, though, the path shown for the movie is C:\Movies not C:\Movies\Movies. The root folder in Radarr Media Management is C:\Movies. What I don't get is Sonarr is set up the same way except the root folder for Sonarr is C:\TV and TV shows are sent to C:\TV\TV Shows.
Could it be a Radarr issue?

Yes, probably.
Easy check: do NOT run Radarr. Let SAB work ... and check where the result arrives.

How do I let SAB work without Radarr? Do you mean just use an indexer to pass a movie direct to SAB?
Maybe I should change the root folder in Radarr Media Management to C:\Movies\Movies even though Sonarr isn't set up that way.
Thanks for your help by the way.
