Portuguese Laurel yellowing not growing

I planted about 200 Portuguese Laurel last autumn, larger plants 150cm
Planted with a lot of compost and bone meal and Empathy Mycorrhizal Fungi.
I run a soaker hose twice a week and usually give them a good soak for a few hours. sometimes longer on dry days and one day I left on for several hours by mistake and they were waterlogged about month ago.
I have 5-6 plants that are struggling, yellowing and not growing or shooting new Leafs at all like the rest that are growing great. I suspect the soil may have been waterlogged as this area in particular seems to get a lot of water from hose.
any Tips to try and save these? I stopped soaking for week In that area after the excessive watering that day and looking at these and the soil seemed dry and when I went down to see if it was waterlogged underneath. Didn’t seem waterlogged.
do I need to add feed, more compost? Replant? I just want to try and save.
images attached, they still look ok, but yellowing and not shooting like rest. So they need intervention.
you can see healthy growing plants in background of first few images nice and green and shooting new leafs and about the 5-6 struggling 1 feet shorter and dying.
Thanks in advance
