This is rather off-topic in the sense that it has nearly nothing to do with wikidata, but in general using place on admin boundaries is considered bad practice (not the least because the administrative entities very often do not correspond to just one place or to a recognizable place at all). Opinions tend to vary on the best fix, one is to add the place node as admin_centre to the boundary relation, but that is not undisputed. Getting back to wikidata, IMHO there should be likely be separate wikidata entries allowing you to match the admin entity with the admin entry and the place with the place ... Simon
