I cleared them with a needle and compressed air.

Maybe there's silt in the reservoir and it's clogging the small holes.

Are the little jets moving on their own? Maybe they're just wore out? Go to a junkyard, get another set, they shouldn't charge you more than a couple bucks. My local one didn't charge me anything for my Fit nozzles.

Is it the adjustment or the position of the jet.? Sometimes when you open the hood the hose might not have enough slack and they move.

it might be that a while back i had the hose that goes into the sprayers get pinched under the hood so i took it off the gray clip that holds it ill try to adjust that tomorrow

Put in some Fit nozels, plus you'll gain a fan type spray.
