So essentially turn on glutes?
Patellar tendonitis

dont give up senpai,
Had patellar tendonitis aka jumpers knee for 3 years.
Started after squatting with shit form for months, i did the same as you went to doc, physio, resting, stretching, nothing had long term effect.
But, then i tried HSR(heavy slow resistance training, and after 2-3 legworkouts it started to get better, and after few months it is "completely" gone, i still feel it sometimes when i am in akward positions, but i can do squats and leg extension without problem.
Try this man

I had it for about 4 years. Decided to take a year long break. Helped a little bit but I can't do any running sports. If I go down too fast on squats my knee will flare up. I think you probably just have to find that perfect training schedule and intensity to manage it. I doubt you'll ever cure it as this point.

If your kneecap is tracking incorrectly when you squat, then squatting with a light band around your knees may turn your glutes on and keep your knees in a better position. Working on capsular flexibility in order to get into a deep squat position will also help.

Always turn on your glutes. But check form first. Are you're hamstrings firing first when you are in the bottom of the squat ? do your knees cave in ?
Can you sit and relax in the bottom of an air squat ?
Also make sure that there are no physical issues. kneepcap can also damage the tendon somehow.

Have had mri, no mention of problems outside the tendonitis.
I can sit in a full depth air squat if I have my hands in front of me .
