Are you arguing that the magisterium has the ultimate authority to define the doctrine of the Church? If not, why would it matter which fathers?

Historically the church always said that tradition came from the early church fathers that knew ot were taught by the apostles.... now it is from "whoever"

“Neither dare one agree with catholic bishops if by chance they err in anything, but the result that their opinion is against the canonical Scriptures of God.”
- Augustine (354–430) De unitate ecclesiae, 10

“early church fathers that knew ot were taught by the apostles”

Did this apply to Thomas Aquinas? No? Then why is his opinion at all relevant?

You can’t get there from here. :)
