Refreshing iterated Lightning Datatables

I'm having an issue getting my LWC component with multiple datatables to refresh.

Background:

I'm displaying lectures in multiple data tables, organized by date the lecture was created. So, if there are two lectures created on April 21st, and three on April 23rd. There will be 2 data tables, with 2 and 3 lectures in each table respectively.

There is a "New Lecture" button on the main component which allows the user to create a lecture (by selecting a date in a modal). Once the user creates a lecture, I would like this lecture to show up in the data table without a page refresh. Since each data table is organized by date, it's possible that the lecture may go in an existing data table or a new one will have to be created.

My Issue:

The refreshApex method kinda works – If I create a new lecture with a new date, it will create a new table with my lecture. But, if I create a lecture with the same date as an existing datatable, it will not insert this lecture into the table.

My Question:

Should I be trying something different besides refreshApex for my use case? or is this not wired up correctly between my child and parent components?

Objects and Components

1. Course__c: Main object which where the LWC is displayed.
2. Lecture__c: Lookup to Course Object. These are the records in the datatables
3. lectureDates.apxc: Returns the dates the lecture was created
4. lectureData.apxc Returns the actual data to populate in the data table
5. CourseComponent.js: A "Parent" component that pulls the dates from apex and iterates through them and displays the lectures in data tables, organized by date. The data tables are each in their own custom component.
6. LectureDatatable.js: A "Child" component. This custom component is a data table which will display all the courses for each date

    refreshApex(this.wiredDates);
