Ok, that green rubber/bucking is not the most accurate, nor is it the best at lifting heavy BBs, but it is an excellent rubber for cold resistance, it works very well in winter. You should be good with that rubber.

Lubing your hop-up rubber negates its effects, it's can't give backspin effectively to a BB if the BB slides on it and it can induce side spin, which further reduces long range accuracy. Cleaning it with dish water soap should fix this.

Next question is, what brand are your BBs? Some BBs are really bad, like, very very poor quality, like Valken or Crossman BBs.

Finally, are you sure that when you reassembled it, you put the nub back on on your hop-up arm? If that nub is missing, its possible that even at max hop-up setting, not enough hop-up will be applied to BBs to lift them correctly, ad you will lose a lot of range. Are you able to over-hop your BBs with your current setup?
