Depth-three symmetry conjecture for multiple zeta-value series

Let n0n\geq 0 be an integer. Let σ{2,3}\sigma\in\{2,3\} be the element satisfying σn(mod2)\sigma\equiv n\pmod 2, and let σ~\widetilde{\sigma} be the other element of {2,3}\{2,3\}. Let P(k1,k2,k3)P(k_1,k_2,k_3) be a polynomial with rational coefficients satisfying

{P(k15n4,k2,k3)=P(k1,k2,k3),P(k1,k23n2,k3)=P(k1,k2,k3),P(k1,k2,k3n)=P(k1,k2,k3),\begin{cases} P(-k_1-5n-4,k_2,k_3)=-P(k_1,k_2,k_3),\\ P(k_1,-k_2-3n-2,k_3)=P(k_1,k_2,k_3),\\ P(k_1,k_2,-k_3-n)=-P(k_1,k_2,k_3), \end{cases}

and degkiP3n+1\deg_{k_i}P\leq 3n+1 for each i{1,2,3}i\in\{1,2,3\}. Depth-three symmetry conjecture. The series

k1k2k31P(k1,k2,k3)(k1+2n+2)n+13(k2+n+1)n+13(k3)n+13\sum_{k_1\geq k_2\geq k_3\geq 1}\frac{P(k_1,k_2,k_3)}{(k_1+2n+2)_{n+1}^{3}(k_2+n+1)_{n+1}^{3}(k_3)_{n+1}^{3}}

is a rational linear combination of 11, ζ(2)\zeta(2), ζ(3)\zeta(3), ζ(2,3)\zeta(2,3), ζ(3,2)\zeta(3,2), ζ(3,3)\zeta(3,3), and ζ(σ,σ~,σ)\zeta(\sigma,\widetilde{\sigma},\sigma). The source reports verification for n2n\leq 2 and proposes this as a conjecture for general nn; it concerns control of the depth-22 part of such series.
