hmm have you tried voodoo flossing:


try also not only flossing/stretching/mashing the lateralis, but all around the upper leg, the lower leg, the feet, the hips, and torso as well. it could be something that is far away from the lateralis that is causing the problem.

the nice thing about voodoo flossing is that they work the entire circumference of the area wrapped. so if you wrap from the knee, do moves, then move the wrap a little bit more higher, do moves, and so on all the way up to your hip, you will not only hit the lateralis but all the muscles on the upper leg.
