This is very hard to tell without your data. However you can easily figure out, how the score came to be

Check out the [explain parameter](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.7/search-search.html#request-body-search-explain) or on a per document base the [explain API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-explain.html)

Hope this helps!
