[User error] PkHex has some problems with Ribbons

[Ale.10]

I've seen that many times when assigning Ribbons in PkHex they count as an error, I check them and they are correct from here.

Unless you provide a specific example, then there's no proof to back up your claim. I'm inclined to believe that PKHeX is correct in whatever situation you suggest, because you're likely missing the other required values that would be present had you received the ribbon legitimately.

This for example, there is no reason why it shouldn't count these ribbons: Coolness Master, Beauty Master, Cuteness Master, Cleverness Master, Toughness Master, Training; 0004 - Charmander - E01F3E0F8ABE.pk7

Contest ribbons grant OT affection.

So, Friendship? And what about the Training ribbon?

No, affection is different from friendship. Refer to the memories editor. 

Training ribbon requires it to have existed in Gen6, as well as having at least 12 super training medals.

Still, shouldn't the software tell me what the problem is? It's quite impractical just telling me that it isn't valid

[Kaphotics]

It's a legality checker, and it tells you what is invalid, not a possible way to fix things. 

There isn't a silver bullet recommendation for every single thing that can be wrong with a Pokemon. Pick an invalid IV spread? If it's invalid, pick a different one that the encounter is able to have. Changed the species, but now it's invalid? Go verify what it takes to evolve it, and make sure all the signs of it doing that are evident in the data. There are many evolution methods, like contest stats (milotic), level up, trade. It would slow the program down if it has to determine a suggested fix every time you checked legality, and it would slow down general development of the program if the developer has to automate every single suggestion for lazy users who change values without care.
