p0275 cylinder 5 contribution/balance fault

hello I am new to this. been a mechanic for 22 years. going to do my best at diesels. working for a sheriffs county rigs. got a 2010 for f350 6.4l. did a contribution test, found cylinder 5 and 6 showing at idle and till 1200rpms only. replaced all fuel filters, performed fuel diesel injector clean service. replaced #5 and #6 injectors. let vehicle idle for 15-20min- for fuel bleed. test drive vehicle and runs great until idle only. need help for diag for possible fix. knocks and rattles only at idle-1200rpms.

I was going to suggest checking the rocker arms and the clips.

What fuel filters did you use? OEM?

well if the injectors are good and the valves/rockers are good...then do a compression test.
