The first thing I have to say is, you making a complete bags of the refilling procedure for these cartridges and you need to start again but this time cut out all the shortcuts you have introduce.
The reason why two of your cartridges are not working is very simple, you have allowed air to enter the CISS tubing which has now travelled down to the print head so please note that if you continue to print while there is no ink inside the print head then you are most definitely going to damage it, so please stop printing till you can fix this problem.
Now where do I start ? First you’re going to need new refill tips for your syringes because the ones you are using are damaging the one-way inlet Valves in the cartridges which are now clearly leaking.
If you continue to use a damaged cartridge it will pump ink into the inside of your printer instead of the print head where it’s supposed to go, you will need to get new cartridges to replace any leaking ones.
To inject ink into the cartridge it is necessary to pull a vacuum on the cartridge first, this will allow a small amount ink to be sucked into the cartridge, and then repeat this process till you can get the cartridge full but not so full that the cartridges sides expand outwards excessively.
When you have filled the cartridge full of ink then pull back on the syringe plunger to withdraw a little ink and any air that may have gotten into the cartridge during the refilling process, then using a scale check the cartridge weight it should be between 80 to 85 grams before use.
The only way to solve the problem of air in the tubing is to run a system clean but unfortunately as you have found out to your dismay that you can’t run a system clean while you have the ink monitoring disabled.

There are three ways to solve this dilemma your now facing (1) is buy a new set of OEM cartridges (Expensive) (2) to buy a set of compatible cartridges and ink (Considerably cheaper than OEM) and (3) to purchase ten sets of one time chip and fit them to your exiting cartridges (Excluding the damaged ones)
This link is to the compatible cartridge if that is what you want.

Link: No longer works
And this one is for the replacement One Time Chip for your OEM cartridges

Here is a Pic of the refill tip after it’s been modified to fit the one-way inlet Valve inlets.
