A little more detail here might help us understand your issue. Apple Music and iTunes generally organize music in the pattern:


<Media Folder>/[Music/]<Artist>/<Album>/[D-]## <Name>.<Ext>


where <Artist> is the Album Artist, or the Artist if album artist is blank, or Compilations if the flag Part of a compilation is set, or Unknown Artist as a last resort. Are you saying these artist and album subfolders aren't being generated, or something else?
