The problem is, that Mp3tag looks for the first blank after matching %album% and treats this as seperator.

You can rename your files to have a proper seperator like - between %album% and %track% using this [action](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/967/1):

Action #1:  
_Action type:_ **Replace with regular expressions**  
_Field:_ **\_FILENAME**  
_Regular expression:_ **(._) - (._) (\d\*) - (.\*)**  
_Replace matches with:_ **$1 - $2 - $3 - $4**

[] case-sensitive comparison

Hope that helps.

Best regards,  
~ Florian
