Autolayout Contraints Changing When View Is Reloaded - Swift - swift

Question

recently in the search VC of my app I have been having a major problem with the contraints for weeks. I've redone them 4 times now with no improvement. My tableview cell is not complex -- an imageView located at the left and two labels on top of each other. Most cells size fine. The only thing is that(without pattern) two cells are randomly messed up(the labels and imageView move way out of place). You can see here:
Here is a picture of the constraints for the vc:
The strange thing is that this sometimes occurs when I toggle the scopeButtons up top. I looked in my code to see if I could fix this when the scopeButton reloads the tableview, but I could not find a problematic instance. My code is below:

var filteredCandies = [Person]()
let searchController = UISearchController(searchResultsController: nil)
override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewWillAppear(animated)
if #available(iOS 11.0, *) {
navigationItem.hidesSearchBarWhenScrolling = false
//initiate the search bar that appears up top when view is segued to
}
if let selectionIndexPath = self.tableView.indexPathForSelectedRow {
self.tableView.deselectRow(at: selectionIndexPath, animated: animated)
}
self.tableView.reloadData()
super.viewWillAppear(animated)
}

Any help would be greatly appreciated in trying to fix the constraints! Thanks!
