Just to clarify - Your profile says 1.0 mtr CM dish - is this still correct and is this what you will use for your C-band signals reception

Try to play with skew, ESPN is quite sensitive to polarity setting.

Hows 3983 R 4332 with you ? ... its 0.2 db weaker than ESPN here with me on 2.4 c.m

And as @Satfaca suggests skew may well be important too especially as 3983 is close in frequency to ESPN but on the other polarity

I think the FEC may possibly have changed for ESPN from 3/4 to 5/6 but not 100% sure about that.
Lyngsat has it at 5/6 and Flysat has it at 3/4

At 3/4 it requires 7.9dB for a lock, at 5/6 it requires 9.4dB for a lock.

If you were locking ESPN previously at somewhere in the 8dB's or lower 9dB's and it was FEC 3/4 but has now gone to FEC of 5/6 that would explain why you have lost it.

Its puzzling that you can get ESPN in the central position and not in the above k/u position ? when i experimented here with C above k/u on 1.8 and 2.4 Channel Master offset dishes, with a small amount of fine tuning i was able to get an equal signal strength lock above k/u as when central .... this was not the case with C band to the side of k/u though, there was always some loss with side configuration.

ESPN LHCP is coming up as 21600, 5/6 with me at about 10dB up here in the Midlands but it's touch and go to keep a lock.
Here's a few more LHCP's using 5/6 FEC - all around the 9 to 10 dB area with me.
4071.
3891.
3878.
3872.
3834.
3803.
3763.
