Are they all on the same cable run? Are there any other devices on the cable?
Where are the rogue fixtures is the chain? Do all the fixtures randomly
strobe?

You only had two devices before, now (if they are all on one cable run) you
have 10. That is a lot more cable and connectors.

Test the terminator - swap it out if you have a spare. For all the DMX jumper
cables, test. They should all be straight through - 1 to 1, 2 to 2 and 3 to 3.
No pin should be connected to the shell. When testing, if possible, wiggle the
cable at the back of the connector. If you have an XLR cable tester, it makes
the job easy.
