What make and model is your oboe (you've probably already mentioned that in a previous thread, but I've forgotten since then)?

Try these fingerings for top C#:

oxx|xooC

oxx|xoxC/C#

LH finger 1 is lifted off completely in both cases - you may want to adjust the opening of LH1 using the adjusting screw, so screw it down almost (but not completely) closed so there's a tiny amount of movement in it and see how it speaks. If it's still no good, then increase the opening by backing off the adjusting screw by degrees until top C# speaks cleanly.

Also check the high D and Eb to be sure they both speak easily.
