Gutters not flowing, what to do?

[Keitai]

The gutters in picture have lots of water in blue section and nothing in red section (where I've drawn on photos). Do I need to lower the brackets on the red section? On the corner of red and blue markings where it runs towards the downpipe the level showed its actually going upwards

can the gutter at your level actually go any higher or are the tiles now in the way ?
looking at the images , where you have the level , i assume is by the front down, and uses the downpipe at the side of the house
is there a downpipe at the end of the house /garden ?

RED section , is that where the level is and if so then you say no water in the gutter

down the side of the bungalow , is that leading to another soak away down pipe
is that blocked or free flowing

Does this image show that there is no connection between the front gutter and the rear gutter?
Can I see an intentional break/gap here at the corner?:

If yes, the back gutter (filled with water) should be emptying towards the back of the house (away from camera).

Check the down pipe at the rear of the house.

Gutters don't need top be on a slope. The criteria is that they empty before they overflow.

It needs to empty at the downpipe at the front.

The side gutters in blue are very full and there's no down pipe in the rear its connected to theres no water in front part

note my question

The gutter runs from the back al the way to the front downpipe , then they should be a very slight drop , does not need to be much 1:500
I have a section that always has water in, because i can not get it any higher due to tiles and eves protector
BUT it does NOT overflow the gutter, during heavy rain it still flows , even though when dry a section is about 1/3rd to half full of water
I just check the length more regularly for any dirt, leaves, moss etc , so that there is a free flow and no blockage. AS near the coast we get a lot of sand in the gutters

Think they're as high as they can go on the side. Can the front ones be lowered?

The water on rear side part is high but after the arrow in picture in picture there's no water.

Put a down pipe in the corner of the building about 6 feet right of the picture and adjust the falls accordingly. I feel however, from your posts, and without wanting to be mean, this is beyond you.

So put it next to the door lol? On the internal corner

The criteria is that they empty before they overflow.

Whilst that is a novel idea, many a swan-neck is cluttered with leaves and pine needles or there are often too few swan necks at all. Also, as with all guttering corners, they have a propensity to sag and get overwhelmed before they empty. Adding clips close to the corner helps, but makes clipping in the corner, difficult.

Another issue is valleys discharging into gutters where the down pipe is distant. Another issue is gutter unions and gutter fitters. You often see a union create a slight downward blip on the gutter run. This usually occurs when a fitter fixes the unions with the line in place. We always fix ours after the gutters are clipped in use our eye to line them up properly.

All in all poor understanding of water flow, poor design, poor maintenance and poor fitting contribute to crap guttering

I'll confess I didn't see the door there (mobile device, small image) If the door hinges are on the wall side, then, yes, why not?

Have a look at the brackets and see how much is between the bottom of facia and bottom of bracket.
Mine were as far down as they could go
The photo does look like they can go down at the downpipe end , but not a clear image when zoomed in
