I've had good luck using default settings until printing tall boys. I know doing two at once probably isn't the best idea but it did help to show that my issue presents itself when there is a drastic drop in layer time.

Using orca, any recommendations for setting fan speed@ height when using PLA plus?

Issue has ONLY occurred when printing tall mags, close to 250mm tall.

Yep the feed lips, the mags are slightly different height and as soon as the shorter one finished the taller one started having issues. Not only did it shift but it also became very glossy at the same layer height.

I had been using default settings in orca, which worked until they didn't.
