I think that may have answered my question that there is a problem with the piston rings and it needs a rebuild. Because the reading does not stablize and it isn't an issue with the leak down tester because I can hear it slowly leaking inside the engine and feel it blowing out the dipstick and valve cover caps
it is a cheap tester but is working

Someone else mentioned the rings could be put upside down. Could that scenario create good compression readings but have a leak down test that doesn't stabilze?
