correct me if i am wrong on the finding

I wouldn't put it like that... I find that more flex allows each end to develop more grip at each end than the setup would allow from a stiff chassis. This is a good way to get a more driveable car if you are having problems with handling however more rear grip also means more understeer (and thus less potential for speed). As far as flex is concerned I only ever remove one screw from my top deck if I want more flex and that is the single screw above the motor mount. I find the others less effective for tuning. The 2.25mm and 2.0mm lower decks should also offer better traction with less understeer effect however it is a big change to go back if it doesn't help.
