Keg pours slow and flat

[m1k3]

I kegged two kegs of Imperial Stout three weeks ago.

One I carbed quickly by bouncing on a exercise ball at 30 psi.

The other keg just sat at serving pressure (12 PSI). That keg pours slow and flat.

I swapped taps and the problem is the keg.

I suspect the universal ball lock poppet on the liquid side... maybe the gas side?

What do I do, release the pressure and swap out the poppets?

This is what I pulled out:
