High positive LTFT after N20 engine change

Hi all,
I have a X3, F25, 2012, 2.0i.
I have recently replaced my old 2012 N20 engine by a 2016 N20 engine (including injectors and engine internals). After starting the engine and driving the car for a few miles, I received P0171 trouble code (engine too lean on bank1) and the fuel consumption is increasing resulting in a LTFT +24.2 % in moderate load/driving condition. The STFT is oscillating between -5% to 5%. St idke the STFT is around zero but the LTFT is *14 at idle.
Please note that I had changed all 4 injector adjustment values before getting P0171 code.
After getting P0171, I tried to reset adaptations using ISTA+ (except the adaptation of increment wheel). Then ISTA showed that adaptation was reset successfully. Then I drove my car for around 100 miles but the LTFT is as before + 24.2% and I get P0171 code randomly. Except that, the car runs fine.

Can anyone help me more? Is there Any other thing that I should do more? Is it possible that adaptation reset was not done properly (for example because of my Old DME i-level)?
Any help is highly appreciated

Regards,
Jahan

Any luck on resolving this issue? I've narrowed it down to possible ECU issue or Fuel Trim tuning being necessary. Thanks in advance!

Hi
Yes I found the problem.
My old engine block had EU5 injectors and the new engine block had EU6 injectors. They have different fuel injection patterns that is driven by DME. I replaced my old injectors (which were fine) and the problem disappeared after few miles.
