The number of shards on my nodes is no longer equal

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hello,
The number of shards on my nodes is no longer equal and I constantly see this kind of information in the logs of the main-2 node. What could be the reason for this?
I am using Elasticsearch and Kibana version 7.4.2.

When I try to restart services by making similar changes to the nodes' elasticsearch.yml file, the services are not restarted.

    # /etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml
cluster.routing.allocation.disk.threshold_enabled: true
cluster.routing.allocation.disk.watermark.flood_stage: 5gb
cluster.routing.allocation.disk.watermark.low: 30gb
cluster.routing.allocation.disk.watermark.high: 20gb ```

I believe those parameters need to be set through the APIs and not through the elasticsearch.yml file.

Thanks for the help. @Christian_Dahlqvist

Finally, what is your suggestion for these settings for my cluster? @Christian_Dahlqvist

Total Disk 42TB

cluster.routing.allocation.disk.threshold_enabled: true cluster.routing.allocation.disk.watermark.flood_stage: cluster.routing.allocation.disk.watermark.low: cluster.routing.allocation.disk.watermark.high:
