Hi,
From your description, I would like to clarify the following thing:
Automatic distribution is used when you don't specify the Database parameter on the Enable-Mailbox cmdlet. This process randomly distributes mailboxes across all of the suitable mailbox databases in your organization.
If you also want the mailboxes to be distributed to the other 12 databases, you can run the cmdlet below to set the IsExcludedFromProvisioning to $false for them.
Set-MailboxDatabase <database name> -IsExcludedFromProvisioning $false
Hope my clarification can be helpful to you.
Best regards,
