This has to do with how the boards and driver are setup. AF 'low end parts'; possible but you present no real evidence of this or explain the mecanism of how the parts make this happen in the way OP presents it. This problem could very well happen cobs, strips or hlg boards.
BK: no worries i understand you have an involuntary entourage...

Afaik that driver should have 2 holes with current and voltage dimming. Have you tried turning voltage dim all the way up? It could be as easy as this.
If no joy with that you could dismantle connectors on the board and run 3 boards in parallel from the same wago.

Sounds like a drop in amps. The amps push the volts through the daisy chain. So if the last one in the chain is the least bright it sounds like low amps and the volts aren't being pushed through. That's why turning up the driver isn't making any difference to the problem.

From what I can see in your pics the dimmer looks like it's running on a side chain circut. So doubtful that it's the dimmer

What you are describing is what happens when you have too low voltage, not to little amps, in a daisy chain parallel setup.

Amperage is the strength of the current. That's why you can touch a 10,000 volt electric fence and not die. The amps are not high enough to push the 10,000 volts into your heart.

Low amps will cause a drop in voltage

You have it reversed.
Voltage is the like the pressure in the line and amperage is the flow through the line.
That's why high voltage lines can "arc" or jump. When the potential difference is great enough between the two point that they exceed the dielectric strength of air the air breaks down and the arc travels. This is due to high voltage.

It's the flow of electrons (amps) that does the damage stopping your heart and other involuntary movements and heating tissues to the point of damage
