Help, was i sold wrong part (injectors)?? HELP

1st post, so bear with me pls. Morning everyone, need professional input PLEASE. About a month ago, I've decided to replace plugs, coils and injectors (2013 F25 N20).
1. Plugs are NGK, made sure they're gapped and torqued to spec. (purchased these in the past for same vehicle with no issues)
2. Coils are Delphi (purchased these in the past for same vehicle with no issues)
3. Injectors. I reached out to a reputable seller online with my VIN# and asked what injectors i need for my 2013 N20. They replied with a direct link to the part and i purchased a set of 4, which also came with decouplers. After installation, the problem started. The car is shaking/rough idling. Most of the time it will only jerk when in "Drive" and NOT when in P. As the weather started warming up, i feel like it started doing it more. I've been trying to figure this out for a month now and needles to say, driving experience SUCKS as the whole car shakes every time i stop at the light. Checked all hoses to make sure there is no vacuum leak, checked all plugs, reseated coils etc... HERE's my question. I went back to my order and see that the injectors i purchased are for SULEV vehicles ie N26 engines. I know some components are same for SULEV and non-SULEV vehicles, but not sure about the injectors. Could THAT be my issue? The number (0261500153) is the same on new and old injectors, but not sure if that's necessarily a part number that i should be looking at. Silly me, threw out old injectors, so I cannot install them back as a test (lesson learned)...
Additional info:
I did adjust injector values and reset adaptations with ISTA
EU5 injectors
CAN SULEV RATED INJECTORS BE USED ON A NON-SULEV VEHICLE?
Thank you all in advance!

Your best bet would be to check your VIN at RealOEM and see if the part numbers match up.

Or did you try FCPEuro? They have a very comprehensive and accurate website for parts

Edit: just checked the PN you listed and it appears to be N26 specific

These appear to be the injectors you need:

Yeah.. I'm afraid that's where i purchased the "wrong injectors", but wasn't going to throw names around until i'm sure that is my problem first...
Looking at RealOEM, it lists EU5 & EU6. My VIN is 0A25833 if that helps. Also, picture attached of original injector. Any assistance to pointing me to the correct injectors is greatly appreciated. Thanks

i guess our posts crossed paths. The link to FCP is for EU6 injectors.. Have i not only purchased wrong PN but a type needed also?
both below are showing as compatible, although are different types:

Based on your vin, it looks like you had a 10/12 prod date so the EU5 are the correct ones.

Yes sir, as original post states, new injectors were coded using ISTA. Thanks

That is correct, i wasn't aware that ISTA has "injector determination" procedure. I just ran it on the car and it came back with attached (EU5). So at this point, my understanding is that sales sold me the correct type (EU5), but wrong model, meant for SULEV N26 engines.
Are we in agreement that the car shaking CAN be caused by this mix-up?
I know it's a long shot as not many people may have experienced this exact issue, but wondering if anyone has similar experience. Thank you all.

Second that. Even the most reputable parts sellers like FCP will tell you to perform the procedure on ISTA to verify compatibility. Having the VIN is not enough when doing injectors.
