Default 3.6l v6 starts rough doesn’t idle unless floored

i have a 2014 dodge ram with the v6 and recently it shut off on me and didn’t wanna start i did diagnosis i changed spark plugs coil pack, and new knock sensors still won’t idle and vibrates really bad around 1-2k rpm it will only start if i floor it, i know the v6 are notorious for lifter failure and this truck had lifter tick i’ve driven with that noise for a while had no issues till now, the only codes i get are knock sensor and i put two new knock sensors won’t start i pulled at 3 plugs on passenger side while the truck was running and it had no change in performance still rough idle i have attached a video link below
