If you own all the rights you can file DMCA complaints, but a more easier way is to report the channel for impersonating yours, feel free to look at this resource:

Crikey, I've just found another channel that's done the same, copied all my videos & started a new channel .. altho it's probably the same person, as both channels are using my videos to advertise affiliate offers.
What make me laugh is how companies are jumping on the bandwagon & claiming copyright on my content. On the first copied channel it was AwalUKLimited & now on the second, the owner has somehow managed to monetize all my videos through Quiz Group.
I don't understand why YouTube hasn't identified them as stolen videos? My channel is 5 years old, all the content is original music created by me & I've monetized all the videos, but their Content ID system hasn't matched a single video back to me .. & we're talking about 40 videos here.
The person that's stolen my videos hasn't mucked around with the audio, so you would think (or at least hope) all the videos would automatically be labelled as copyrighted upon uploading?
.. & I haven't uploaded any of them with a creative commons license, so ... !?!

I'm assuming the reason why your reuploaded videos aren't getting claimed is because you don't actually have Content ID enabled on your channel, Content ID isn't something automatically given to you or applied to every channel, it's a program that needs to be enabled on your channel and only then will you be protected.
First option is through applying via YouTube, if you're partnered under a network then you cannot go this route, getting Content ID is very hard as you would have needed to filed DMCA's on a lot of videos to demonstrate your need for it and your content needs to be 100% yours, no other images or even royalty free music, regardless the option is there if you wish to pursue it: https://www.youtube.com/content_id_signup
Second option is through your MCN (if you are partnered with one), if you're partnered with Fullscreen I know that they have an app where you can manually send in a request to claim a reuploaded video through their Content ID system, with other MCNs you would need to get in contact with them and ask, explain your need for it and they may or may not enable Content ID on your channel.
You should enter in your YouTube channel in your settings so that it's easier for us to find your channel and figure out who you're partnered with
Hope this helps!
