mildewy dogs soil test

hey guys,
this was first posted in the regular forum, and now that ive got my test results as suggested, im posting here for the anlysis by the gurus.
hope im doing it right.
I'm out here in coastal RI, ive been using soil savvy to guide my applications since 2016, I fertilize roughly 10,000 sf. soil type is a sandy loam, champion gq perrenial rye, midnight kb
first i would like to say this site has been a huge help, thank you guys for putting it together. i have been following here since 14, or 15 pretty regularly but dont post too much.
starting in 2016 i really started trying the regimens as suggested on this site. micros were all on the low side, p was high, k was low, as was my ph
through 17 -19 really was trying to get everything in line and the lawn has improved dramaticly. lots of milorganite and baystate, lime, agressive witer program hammering the n. the phos went up along with the k while ph has routinely been 5.5 ish
noticing the p number trending way high due to the milo, in 20 and 21 i stopped using the milorganite except for a light spring aplication realy just to get soil activity, started going heavy on alot of the micros and focusing on n-k and ph. using nxt line,humichar, carbonx, and urea mostly.
soil test for this year came in and phos is still way high, and k is still way low, micros have come into the acceptable range, ph remain unchanged around 5.4.
i have been applying a 0-0-60 potash granule, as well as a repeated monthly applications of an 8-0-20 solution called mojo k20 along with solu-cal as well as fast acting lime from bb stores at double the bag rate but i cant get the numbers to move. the mojo k 20 product is a "liduid lime" and as I said an 8-0-20 fert.
over the years the calcium has moved slowly into the acceptable range. iron and Mn are also within the acceptable range
the soil is 1000% better looking, and the lawn itself is great. i guess im just wondering if im missing a trick with the K linked to ph or a counter action from moulders chart with timing of applications (always spaced at least 2 weeks apart)of all this product, or is it just a waiting game. just cant get either number to move very much. despite 4lbs/k potash, 4lbs /k sufate of potash, 10lb/k solucal, 10lbs / k of the fast lime, 5lbs/k of the mojo, and probably 6lbs/k n urea yearly.
not in this for a quick fix, i know fixing the soil is a long game. but im obviously not doing something right here, some of the answer may lie with the soil savvy tests, the ll results show a way more accurate, and detailed, turns out things are more inline then i previously thought.
any help at all would be appreciated?
