I just installed a two stage gas furnace (switched to propane) in my attic took a look at it tonight and when it lights two of the three orfices are lit going into the Venturi never seen this pressures are good on high and low fire and the inlet changed to new orfices I had still the same thing the only thing is I don’t have my fresh air vent ran but I don’t think this would be the cause any thoughts

That's correct pressures for natural gas, not LP. You would probably want around 10-11" w.c at high fire for propane. And the spring needs to be replaced before setting the pressures. Usually the new one for LP is red.
You run the risk of completely trashing your new furnace by sooting up the heat exchanger at those pressures for LP.2 -
