CJV30 Missing right side magenta

I'm at a loss. Right side Magenta is missing? Totally not there.
Switched with Cyan damper and I get Magenta and no Cyan far right
Changed dampers, changed entire capping station.
Flushed print head
Any ideas? I have spent many hours reading related threads and have pretty much tried all the suggestions.
Is it possible the print head is gone ):
Thanking you in advance for your input.

I've seen this issue a bunch of times. The cap slider wears out over time and makes the cap engage too late which makes the cap offset just enough to miss the magenta channel during cleanings. Pop a new cap slider in and that should do the trick. In a pinch I've also shimmed the part of the call slider that the head carriage pushes to lift the cap with a broken off piece of swab handle so the carriage hits early. That can get you up and running if you need to print right away.
