Santos is in the 2nd Brazilian League???

Which Brazilian start date are you using? My assumption is the earlier one. In which case, this is ‘by design’.
For nations where there are two start dates, the earlier year reflects the ‘previous season’ and the later start date reflects the ‘latest season’. In the case of Brazil, if you start in the earlier start date, Santos are in the second tier. If you start in the later year, Santos are in the top tier.
I think the reason for positioning these nations like this is because it is understood that most of the community like to play the ‘latest start date’ (as it is closest to real life). Sports Interactive, themselves, also arrange those multi-year nations in a similar way - that is, you can effectively set up the divisions for two consecutive years to reflect promotions/relegations. Scandinavia is similar.
On a separate note, can I please ask that you do not tag the Site Administrator in every post. There is no need. There are a team of us who will do our best to help - we monitor the forums for posts as much as we are able.
I will also move this thread to the appropriate sub-forum as I think it is better-suited to be in the Data Update sub-forum. Finally, I noticed you posted the same query in another, unrelated thread - I will go ahead and delete that as this thread is all that is needed. Please do refrain from posting the same query multiple times in different threads - there is no need.

I start with a date that starts FM24, should I use any plugin to prevent this from happening? if necessary, which supplement is it? sorry for tagging

So, when you are setting up a new game and choosing the game start date in Brazil, you get options that are either the 2023 or 2024 season. To see the below options, you only need the SortItOutSI Data Update. It should look as below:
You should select one of the start dates for the 2024 season (those circled red). The file has been set up to reflect the real-life 2025 (i.e. current) season against that season. The 2023 season in-game reflects the real-life 2024 season.
For the nations that operate their league season throughout a single year, FM provides two ‘start years’. The later year will reflect the existing year. I appreciate it can be a bit awkward, but it's a symptom of the passing of time and at different parts of the year having to iterate the files in different ways.
