Fighting Knock 1 to 2 degrees

I'm following recommended procedures to remove KR but no luck. I remove from one area and another area is affected, but not all the time. I know of all the obvious sources of KR, bad gas, hot air and high backpressure.
Any other reason for KR? I have hptuners and left my sensitivity as is, could poly motor mounts contribute to false knock?

How do you go about turning down the knock sensor sensitivity? I have HPTuners and would like to do this.

Have you done a blanket timing pull to verify that it is real knock? Just doing individual cells won't give a definitive answer, as the KR often shows up in a cell near the actual offender if it IS real knock.
