Reading between the lines the downforce in the body of the VF is much less than the VE, so the VF couldn't be made to have equal downforce to the FG, so the FG's downforce was reduced. I'm not an expert but this sounds like a sensible and cheap solution to equalising all the cars.
With the issues at FPR with strategy decisions, crashing & bashing, pitstops, tyre blow outs, intra-team fighting... I somehow dont think a change in rear aero is at the top of the list of things that would be causing their lack of performance consistency across their 4 cars..

I'm inclined to agree.

Their post-race debriefs must be intense.
