Falcon 9 - HELP NEEDED

Falcon 9 from SpaceX. I am using modded engines (I forgot who modded them, but not me) and for some reason, two of them work perfectly and the other two act as though they didn't have enough air (intakes). If anybody could fix this, or tell me how to, that would be a huge help. Thank you!

    I gave it a little bit more power. It is a 52x mod now😂😂

    @Kimo what do you mean, reverse the mod? also i think it's a 2x or 5x engine mod (i used one from someone else's post)

    And one more thing, you may reverse The 52x engine mod. It makes input reaction time much longer.

    Ok I did not realize that. Try to use The Last fuselage block with The mounted engines as a total and make this move. Should work!😜👍

    @Kimo ok i really appreciate your help. I hate to say it, but my main goal is for the engines to have thrust vectoring. I want to be able to simulate the Falcon 9 landings. If you want to see an example, here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANv5UfZsvZQ
    Again, thank you so much for your help. I am going to keep trying to figure something out.

    @Kimo if you have time, I would really appreciate it if you could look at my second attempt. I have a ton of inlets, and the problem still remains.

    I thought so. I had The Same Problem. It is due to Limitation of air intakes! If you add some it will be better. Why it's only two of them, I Dont know! Why Dont you try to fit in rockets? I think you could fit 9 in with no problems. Sure it will Look cool.

    @Kimo Oh ok. So two of them look normal, and two of them look black and weak, like when there are no inlets. The working ones and the bad ones are next to each other, not opposite corners. like
    OO
    XX
    or
    OX

    I Do not have the Beta Update! Y vote was mainly for the Awesome look. If you Start the engines what Do the exhaust flames Look like? Did you add some inlets just to test it?

    @Seraphinium yea but this is just less complicated. I mean it also doesn't have moving engines, just thrust vectoring flaps. This is just easier.
