I just transferred approximately 27,000 songs (211gb) to my 256gb iPhone X. My “Other” storage has ballooned to 24.4gb. The amount “System” storage keeps changing too. At one point it said 30gb, then settled at 24.4. I did a hard reset and now it says 24.6. The amount of free storage never changes.

I don’t know exactly what it was before the transfer, but it wasn’t nearly this large. Do I have any other options besides restoring from a backup and transferring all the music again?

Edit: I tried resyncing the iPhone. iTunes tells me I should have 13gb free. After the resync, system storage is now at 21.6gb, but I still have the same amount of free space as before the resync (246.8 of 256gb used).
