How do i balance/ equalise my batteries

I have 6 parallel wired Rahvolt 7kwh batteries, they have rgb led lights on them, indicating the soc, (white 100% cyan 75%, green 50%, blue 20% , red under 15%)

While 4 batteries are green, one is cyan and the other is blue, so this clearly shows that the batteries are not all equal soc. I was hoping they would balance out after being connected in parallel for over a week, but this has not happened (more than likely because the soc curve os so flat on lifepo4 batteries.

I am assuming the cells in each bank are balanced by the bms, but how to I balance the bank of 6 batteries?

I only get a combined soc reading1000037495.jpg on the vrm

I would start by contacting the battery manufacturer for their recommendations/suggestions. Rahvolt isn't a Victron-known/compatible/supported brand so there's probably a limited amount of advice any of us in the Victron world could offer.
