Google picked another canonical
Google chose a different page as the main version than the one you pointed to, so the page you want found may not be the one it shows.

How Lastmod finds it
Lastmod compares the canonical on the page with the one Google reports for it.
What you do
Decide which page should be the main one, then make the canonical, the internal links and the sitemap agree.
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.
