Good that you're attaching the lumped model of the inductor, that tends to
make the question easier to answer.
Could you shed some light on the fitting method and what tool you're using?
In network synthesis there are many ways of doing the realization of the
equivalent circuit, and some of them build on the idea of fixing some of the
lumped component values that you're relatively sure of, and fit the
remaining ones.

Do you have a rational function in the s-domain fitted to your s-parameters?
Assuming it's positive and real, then you pretty much have what you need to
make a manual realization, fixing some of the values you're pretty sure of.

That would be my take on it, any other suggestions?

Best regards,
Lars
