need help identify source of vac leak (smoke test video)

today on my journey of trying to find the Vaccum Leak (for system too lean code) for bmw x5 2003 3.0 (M54 engine)

I replaced the DISA valve (when I opened it the flap was not moving back)

I got a smoke machine and I realized the source of the smoke is under the DISA valve but I am not sure where that is ... is that The idle valve ?
here are the videos (you can see on there is also a small leak on the Hose on top Left of engine and a bigger major leak in the Lower part under the DISA)

this one better without the airbox in the way:

I am doing a wild guess that it should be the idle valve, I ordered "Grommet for Idle Control Valve" ... am I going to the right direction ?

I also ordered Intake Boot "Tube Elbow" - Throttle Housing to Air Boot

I am also suspecting, could it be the "Throttle Housing Gasket" ? so I ordered that part too




p.s:
so far I changed the following, fuel filter, ignition and spark plugs, disa valve.
