How is your suction and also the flow coming out of the return lines? Everything seem normal other than the DE issue?
Yes, everything seems fine I think I was just dumping it too fast that the skimmer flow couldn’t keep up so it was going down that drain line and out that side drain which is connected to skimmer.( I don’t know if I’m calling everything by their correct name.)

Doo-hickey, thinga-ma-jig, we understand all languages here.
If you can plug the hole closest to the pool in the bottom of the skimmer with even a rag and add the solution with the pump running you won't have that problem. That port is an equalizer port that, if there is a float valve in the skimmer will allow some water to be pulled in through it and, if the water gets too low, allow the pump to get enough water to not be damaged.
