If you can get to them, check that the castings between the gas jets and the gas input haven't had something spilled on them which is partly clogging the air inlet hole. In early cookers they were easily removable, so it was easy to take them out to clean them, but I don't know if it's still the case with modern ones.
I'm no expert on gas cookers. When mine was installed the fitter pulled off each knob and inserted a small screwdriver into the hole and turned it this way and that until the flame looked good. I suspect that's not your problem. Make sure that each burner has the metal bits on top of it properly seated; twiddle them around a bit until they feel good.
If you insert a nice small screwdriver and turn it around a bit inside you should be able to feel it engage with the screw slot. It might not work, but it's what I'd try.
Have you really cleaned the burner metal bits and cleared any holes or slots? Perhaps a hole in the base of the burner, close to where the spark appears.
