The point is that Wireshark doesn't dissect frames whose 802.11 header indicates some Data subtypes (probably encrypted ones) although the actual payload has been decrypted by the NIC. So you can see the plaintext contents in the hex dump but the dissection says just "Data".

What's probably happening is that the Protected bit is set but the packet contents are decrypted.
One of the "Yes" options for "Ignore the Protection bit" preference might make that work.
