Kswis-A6Q

Hello all and thanks in advance for any advice whatsoever.
my 2016 3.0T A6 Quattro has this odd hesitation. Only when ive let off the pedal, coasted then slowly re applied the gas. It runs great in every other situation. Heavy acceleration or just stomping on it there's none at all, and it goes away when in sport mode. And it always has 2 little misses, 1 right after the other. And always when very lightly accelerating. I changed the plugs about 1200 miles ago, went away briefly then came right back, next step is MAF cleaning? Are there other things I should look at and what's the best way to clean the maf? The proper man cleaner n hose it down after removed from intake? Used to work on cars back in the day, love working on cars, just not every day... and def not when I have to! Thanks again
