IS there a separate circulation pump for the downstairs circuit? If so check that its working.

Also, the motorised valve may not be opening fully.

Check obvious. Is downstairs room stat set very low? The motor valves likey do up, down and cylinder. Easy to spot wire from cylinder stat to valve, ignore that one. Get help, someone to turn stats to call heat while u listen for which valve is up and down or if its actuating. When u isolate down valve press its manual on lever to the override locked setting and see what happens.
