I'm not quite sure what the issue is that you're trying to resolve, but
if it's the effect of different insulating materials affecting the
frequency when brought into proximity, then that should be no surprise
at all.
The experiment uses the capacitance of the air space around it to all
the conductive materials around it, and that capacitance must include
effects of any dielectric that substitutes for some of the air as well.
I would expect that the frequency will always go downward as any
insulator (dielectric constant always higher than that of air) is
brought into proximity, and the effect will be directional, being larger
if the material is between the sensitive node and a larger or closer
conductive surface.
