Stars flaring and collimation issue

Hi everyone,
I have a Skywatcher 12'' GoTo scope.
When I am focusing on stars, I am getting a flare on the side of them, which is very annoying.
I feel like it is a collimation issue but not sure.

The things I have been using for collimation include:
  • Farpoint eyepiece cap
  • Orion collimating eyepiece
  • Glatter collimator
  • Glatter TuBlug

I feel like everything is lined up, but I don't seem to be getting it.
Just wondering if anyone else has had the same experience?

If someone is located nearbye, I would love them to have a look.
Approximately 25 minutes from Wangaratta, North East Victoria.

Any information or help would be much appreciated.
