I can see the sprocket holes right on the film.

I think there is a wording issue. Or let me say "ambiguous"...

I think we got a wording issue. Or at least let me call it "ambiguous".

focus_on _ infinity, how about doing what Matt King asked you to? Might get us somewhere unless you are satisfied that we have solved the problem to your satisfaction. In which that seems to be the end of the matter for you and we can look towards other problems that arise on Photrio
If it is simply an agitation problem in your view then all you can do is keep altering your pattern of agitation until the problem disappears

Let us know when agitation solves the problem and what the correct agitation regime is

If these are so-called "surge marks" then I'd venture to guess has to be some super consistent flow around at each point of agitation, time after time, which I find rather hard to believe even if one really tried.

I suppose these show up only at one edge of the film? Or both? If both then to me it cannot be agitation at all as liquid moves in an entirely different pattern at bottom and top of film irrespective of "agitation consistency".
