Low flow isn't caused by a dirty EGR. It's the passage through the intake that gets clogged up. It will clog where the passage gets the narrowest.

Yup P0401 Insufficient flow.
A can of aerosol air/intake cleaner and a coat hanger down the passageways; shame you went out and bought an EGR valve.
But school costs money and we all have to pay our dues; I guess?
