Same meta description on many pages
When many pages share the same meta description, Google may pick its own snippet for them. It is usually a template error.

How Lastmod finds it
The crawl compares the meta descriptions of your indexable pages and groups the pages that share exactly the same text.
What you do
Give each page its own description, or fix the template that fills them all with one text.
How the work is followed up
Lastmod looks for your change on the live page and closes the opportunity when the problem is gone. Clicks are followed as context, not as the proof.
