What is the situation to correct the relationship of a person who is an ex-spouse but also a cousin?

Grace Delaine Carter (Price)

She is, as Geni reports, my wife's uncle's ex-wife. She is also, as Geni does not report, my wife's third cousin. She should be in my MAX Extended, but she is not.

Geni's relationship calculator is reporting her marriage relationship to my wife rather than her DNA relationship to my wife -- perhaps because it is set up to report the closest possible relationship, but that causes issues as noted later in this post.

Ancestry's relationship calculator reports her as my wife's third cousin -- in other words, DNA first.

Ordinarily I would not care. But now that I am importing via Smart Copy Grace's siblings and their descendants, they are coming in as outside of my MAX Extended due to Geni linking them to Grace as my wife's uncle's ex-wife. All of Grace's siblings, and all of the descendants of Grace's siblings, are also my wife's cousins and within my MAX Extended, which is what I want put right. Here is the first sister:

Mable Lee Medlin (Price)

"Mable Lee Medlin (Price) is your wife's uncle's ex-wife's sister." Not MAX Extended.

True -- but she is also my wife's third cousin. Yes, MAX Extended.

Any suggestions?
