definitely fix pH before reacting to symptoms.
any acid will do. distilled white vinegar, for example... much cheaper than "ph-down" products.
i wouldn't 'flush.' Keep irrigating, but ph-down the solution lower than your target... see what runoff reads.. a few soil slurry samples - not just off top, in fact top is worst place due to extra evaporation, i bet. use same volume of 7pH water and same mass of soil. In both cases, the reading will be inaccurate... context should dictate whether it's actually beyond or short of the reading. runoff is just imprecise...
irrigation habits? just in case -- always saturate soil with a little runoff waste. ensures no dry pockets whose impacts get much worse with time - e.g. pH or nute concentrations. Wait for top 1" to dry.. repeat..
keep whatever fertilization schedule you had... and once pH is hammered out, see how it heals... judge new growth for health.
remember, it's a logrithmic scale relative to 7... just 1 integer lower is 10x more h3o+:oh-... 2 is 100:1. Try 6pH irrigation or fertilization? while low, it should average out in a safe range. observe results and adjust if needed.
N tends to be more available at higher pH, so could reduce that temporarily while you work on pH. could be what you are seeing with the dark green leaves and maybe a bit glossy? if you apply neem oil, can look glossy on its own.
