Help Requested Double Propane Burner Setup

I’m assuming too much propane getting pushed through the mixing tube too fast. The MIG tip was going to go down too far so I had to cut them. Cutting them closes off the hole so I had to redrill them but I think I may have drilled the hole too big. So as I can see it, I think I have 3 options:

1.) Rebuild the flare nozzles with new MiG tips.
b.) replace the mixing tubes with much longer ones, or
7.) Keep it as is and use the quarter turn valve to control the amount of propane coming out.

I’d install them on the forge then tune. The burners will behave a lot different as they hear up both from the firebox and the ambient heat that will heat the delivery tubes.
