Underfloor heating loop not raising floor temperature

I'm attending a wet underfloor heating system, it's an old one ..No flow meters, just adjustable valves on the returns with conventional actuators.
Problem is , one loop (far right in photo) isn't heating the floor (timber suspended) . I've bled the loop via a hosepipe, shut off all the other valves/actuators. The flow into the loop is very hot, and the return is also hot....presumably if there were a restriction/airlock then the return temperature would be reduced, but it's not.
From all this I'm assuming that the loop is hot throughout its length, so why isn't it heating the floor above?

All the other zones work fine, theres another loop in the same room that works as it should..there's just zilch from the area of flooring corresponding with the zone in question.

As I understand it, this hasn't always been an issue, so presumably not an error in installation.

sorry misread that you say its returning hot sorry
