From what I remember neutrons have 2 down quarks and protons have 2 up and 1 Dow quarks. This brings up several questions, Do quarks, if so are they doing so in the nucleus? Or is it only the glueons, that holds the strong force? Always wondered about what holds the strong force, nucleus together.

I dunno. Beyond my paygrade at this point.
But consider that there could be at least one undiscovered force operating at those subatomic levels.
