It rather sounds as though you have three different men - soldier A from the Royal Engineers, soldier B from the Royal West Kents who was enlisted in 1917, and soldier C who was also from the Royal West Kents. In your grandfather's "attestation record", is his regimental number given? If so, you can do a search for that in the Medal Index Card database, and you may find that he is recorded under a different variation of his name, eg Harry Smith instead of Henry G Smith.
