I'm going to remove the zener and test it. I'm not sure that I understand the way it is supposed to work in this circuit. I thought that it should create a 6.2V difference from one side to the other. It's not doing this, and nor does D26, which is a 7.5V zener.

If REF H is supposed to be 8.2V then I think I need to find the source of REF H and follow this through to D24. Changing the op-amp chip IC5 made no difference so I'm guessing that REF H is out of spec before that.
Yes but it’s the wrong type for the FM4. I’ve seen it too. The source of your problems? What happens if you pull it out?
Have you tested you 6.2 V zener then?
