"AD USER TARGER RECON" retry is not working

Question

Hey,
I have only 2 connector in my env. Both scheduled to run every 5 min. I am creating the new user in portal UI which also creates user's AD account, which means user gets his AD account created before he get created in OIM. My connectors are scheduled as below.
1) CREATE USER GTC (runs: 05:20, 05:25. 05:30.... so on)
2) AD USER TARGER RECON. (runs: 05:22, 05:27: 05: 32.... so on)
My issue is "AD User Targer Recon" is not retry is not working. Means it picks the user first time and trying to link up with OIM. But linking is not happening (NO MATCH FOUND) because user didnt get created in OIM yet. CREATE USER GTC runs and create the user after AD some times. But "AD User Targer Recon" is not trying to link the user when it run next time!!!
Steps:
*1) Time 5:20 ==> CREATE USER GTC ran and no new user.*
*2) Time 5:21 ==>Portal creates new user XXX & user created in AD.*
*3) Time 5:22 ==>AD USER TARGER RECON ran and picked up user XXX, but NO MATCH FOUND.*
*4) Time 5:25 ==> CREATE USER GTC ran found new user XXX in potral and reconed in OIM.*
*5) Time 5:27 ==>AD USER TARGER RECON ran and didnt picked up any one (since it already processed XXX once and not trying any more)*
How to fix this issue. I would like AD USER TARGER RECON should retry the user if they didnt link with OIM while last ran. I have tried setting retry count in process definition and also in task scheduler, but no luck. Any idea please.
Thanks

Hey Sunny,
Yes, I did tested both of these ideas already and works.
1) Modify the user attribute in AD is always works. AD recon used to pick up the modified user and link with OIM (if user dont have AD account linked) .
2) I clear the ADCS Timestamp in "AD User Target Recon" task scheduler and it picks up all the user and linked with OIM.
My case, User created in Portal & AD at 9:01 AM, AD picked up the user @ 9:02AM and OIM Crate GTC recon @ 9:03AM. So I need the same user should picked up by AD while it's next run which is @ 9:07AM. Since the taskes are already scheduled, I cant clear the timestamp or the update the field every minute.
As you said I may need another schedule task which should push back the ADCS Timestamp 5 min every time. Any idea how to do that? Is there any easy way to push back the ADCS Timestamp? Or any other setting in AD which allows to pick all the users who got created/updated in given intervel of time.
Thanks
