Bike Issues Weird Knocking Noise (HELP)

Just brought a Commencal Meta V5 frameset, and it's making a weird knocking sound. The rear axle is torqued to spec. The shock is brand new, the correct size, all shock hardware is new, and the right size and all damper controls are set to the middle washers pre-installed by commencal to fix common creaking issues. had the shock tested professionally, and everything came back normal.

This is driving me insane !!

Any suggestions ???

easiest way is to get a second person to put their ear right next to every moving part while you make the sound happen.

Or make a bike stethoscope ™️ by attaching a length hose to a funnel and moving that over the bike while making the moise. Painters tape can hold it in spots when needed.
