Not sure if this is a mapping or linker problem.

Two authors with the same names, but one has a $c - Titles and other words
associated with a name

$aHarris, Ken
$aHarris, Ken $c(Writer on railroads)

In this case the linker is linking titles to Ken Harris that should have been
linked to Ken Harris (Writer on railroads) because it did not look at the
subfields. To further complicate, the only authority record in the system is
for Ken Harris. No authority record exists for Ken Harris (writer on
railroads). In other words, the linker should not have linked this particular
bibliographic record to anything because it did not appropriately match the
existing authority of Ken Harris.

These settings are in place:

LinkerModule: Default
LinkerOptions: broader_headings
AutoCreateAuthorities: don't generate
RequireChoosingExistingAuthority: don't require
AuthorityMergeMode: loose
