In the Regions IDs.csv file we download in the https://idisco.info/clearmap-2/ there are 6 regions simply labelled as Unlabelled, acronym NoL, under CTX as parent.

after playing with the region-specific heatmaps I observed that they were actually well defined regions from the cortex, as excluding these regions would leave 5 remarking blank spots in the cortex. Below I summarize what I identified in the Allen Brain Atlas for these regions. In the list we have the regions ID, the name, the acronym and their parent region's acronym

182305696 - Primary Somatomotor area, unassigned, layers1/3, SSP-un1/3, SSP
182305712 - Primary Somatomotor area, unassigned, layers4/6, SSP-un4/6, SSP
312782560 - Anterior area, VISa, PTLp
312782592 - Rostrolateral visual area, layers1/3, VISrl1/3, PTLp + Laterointermediate area, layer1/3, VISli1/3, VIS
312782624 - Laterointermediate area, layer4/6, VISli4/6, VIS + Postrhinal area, layer1/3, VISpor1/3, VIS
312782656 - Postrhinal area, layer4/6, VISpor4/6, VIS

The simplest way to fix this would be to change the indexing of 312782592 to get the whole VISrl and 312782624 to get the whole VISli and 312782656 to get the whole VISpor.
Is there an easy/practical way to do this? I am pretty sure that these mixed up indexes are somewhere in the reference brain. So I guess it would be a matter of indexing it correctly in there. Any Ideas??
