  I would unscrew the burner and check the propane jet as well as clean the slots in the burner head. These are small and a small amount of debris can impede the gas flow leading to no flame in a portion of the burner head. The propane jet needs a very thin wire to go into that opening.

  Flame spreader needs cleaning, that’s my bet. Reaming the jet is not I’ll advised either.

  A tip cleaner is a handy and inexpensive tool that you should use for cleaning burners/jets/tips.....Lowes, Harbor Freight, Tractor Supply or any welding shop should have them. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Lincoln-Electric-Tip-Cleaner/3499658?cm_mmc=shp-_-c-_-prd-_-tol-_-google-_-pla-_-153-_-sospneu,air,rotaryshopequip-_-3499658-_-0&placeholder=null&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIyev696Hx7AIVCYizCh1NGQibEAQYASABEgK-wvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

  I reamed the jet with a tip cleaner and it now works!    $4 fix.  Thanks for all of the useful suggestions!
