Have you adjusted the venting on the LH1 fingerplate (left index finger)? It should barely move, but open by a very minimal amount.

Similarly with the RH2 fingerplate (right middle finger) - the screw on the low C key touchpiece arm adjusts the venting of the RH mid fingerplate when the low C key is held closed but shouldn't fully close the RH mid fingerplate, so adjust both these screws to get the required ventings until the altissimo register notes speak clearly.

Anything above high E requires the 1st 8ve key (thumb or back 8ve key) to be held open for them to speak, so check the lower 8ve vent bush isn't blocked.
