Have you got any idea what is going on?

I don't know why, maybe it's just this material you are using but your LM and M almost look the same. Same goes with LC and C.
Do your test on a vinyl and see how it looks.
Do you have fresh ink and good printheads installed?
My guess it's your material that needs profiling.

Its not printing red on the printout straight from the printer, and this happened when I did a firmware update

Mhm always something not mentioned huh. What were you trying to fix by updating it?

You'll never hit 185C but 186C you should get close. I have never really had a problem getting good reds but then I don't create the profiles with the printer internal profiling software. The printers spectro is okay if you use it from a RIP and create you profiles that way, or use an external spectro.
How do the reds look in your profiling target? That should give a good idea if it is really the printer or somewhere in your color management.

Just happened to think about something when posting to another thread.
At one point there was a firmware update to the L360 that messed with the calibrations. The only way to get it back to printing correct color was was to create a new media preset (do not clone) and new calibration and then make a new profile on top of that with the printer or onyx. I would try that before anything else
