Default Urgent Need Help! Audi 2015 Q5 3.0 Supercharged Misfiring on cylinders 4,5,6

I took my car to the mechanic to change the valve cover gaskets, 1 day later i got check engine light "cylinder misfire 4 5 6" I had him replace the spark plugs and the ignition coils and he double check the work he did. The misfire happens when starting the car 4/10 times. Sometimes starts off just fine and other times it will be misfiring and engine shaking. Fuel pressure is 3700 kpa. Very slight power drop when accelerating 2500-3500 rpm ocationaly. Problem tends to be more frequent when car cools off slightly
Car has 110.000 miles, i had the pcv replaced and did carbon cleaning at 95.000 Car also loses small amounts of coolant and burns oil 1 qt at 2000 miles.

Could the mechanic have forgotten to secure/tighten the ground wire on the 4-5-6 side? There's a ground wire on both sides just on the undersides that secures the coil pack harness.

Checked all connections everything is torqued down. I noticed car misfires only when fuel is less than 3/8 of a tank full. Ocational power drop under engine load is still present at full tank.

Possibly a plugged or bad fuel filter is causing you the problem.
