Legend issues with notebook script

In the following script, it outputs the maps correctly but the legend keeps repeating itself between the first few county legends? I've attached an example for Sulfate by town-range and you can see the legend shows Arsenic by county.

# Make Web Display Current Map Set
# make sure only WI_Counties layer on
import sys
import arcpy
import os
import arcpy.mp as Map

# set these control parameters for the map production:
xDate = "January - 2025" # current data set being displayed (above legend on layout)
xPrint = "no" # "yes"/"no" for print control
xFormat = "pdf" # can be either pdf or png; reset the map document to a borderless png version if appropriate
xRes = 300
pdfBook = "Viewer_MapBook_January_2025" #enter name of mapbook; disabled when format set to png
xDir=r"C:\Projects\Well Water Quality Viewer\make_web\Display_Maps" #dir for the output files
aprxFile=r"C:\Projects\Well Water Quality Viewer\make_web\Display_Maps\Display_Maps\Display_Maps.aprx" #mxd document
# set maps to a list of desired maps (in the order requested for mapbook)
maps = ['Alkalinity-Co','Arsenic-Co','Arsenic-Max-Co','Atrazine Family-Co','Bacteria-Co','Chloride-Co',

Hello, I can't identify the issue from the picture that is attached. What is "repeating itself"?

The legends for Alkalinity-co, arsenic-co and chloride-co keep repeating. There are 14 parameters each for county, town-range and section. So for sulfate it’s showing chloride rather than going through the list of legends. Does that help?

Here are a couple screenshots if that helps. The legends are part of the Layers map frame. This was a layout from ArcMap that I imported into Pro and am trying to update my script.
