I was going by the info on post #200 that 306 was already there. Maybe the OP got it wrong

Government has just published the new Thameslink contract, and on page 76 (of 518) says 24 class 387/3 vehicles are leased from 26 June 2022 to 31 March 2008
So Thameslink now been paying for them for 8 weeks, and if all not in service yet then reason isn’t clear to me.

Presumably the 387/3s have to be on lease to GTR to allow the work currently underway at Hornsey, with the 387/2s currently in use north of London not needed south of London until 12 September.
26 June to 12 September gives the time needed to get them ready for GTR's usage - ie they don't work straight 'out of the box'.

No, I didn't get it wrong. 302 & 306 arrived on 09/08 after working 5E17 Peterborough Nene CHS - Hornsey EMUD, as I reported here. 306 returned to Peterborough Nene in a 12 car consist on 5P46 16:01 Hornsey EMUD - Peterborough Nene via Highbury Vale the very same day.
2 have already returned to GatEx, so 5 more will return South over the coming weeks. Apparently one is to stay to support GN services and the introduction of the ex-c2c and GWR 387s. Another path to Lovers Walk is below:

Why 12 September - thought timetable was changing on Sunday 4 September?
Sorry my mistake. I'd been thinking it was a week later.

Posts 89 and 183 suggest that the 387/3s won't be used until September and that the 387/2s won't return south until then, either. Now that 387202/203/204 have been reported as having gone back, and 387205 going next weekend, can we expect to see the 387/3s in use now or are GN going to run with a maximum of 33 units (29 387/1s and 4 387/2s) for the next couple of weeks?

This pair also worked 1T10, 07.40 Kings Cross (KGX) to Kings Lynn (KLN). Following RTT they appear to have worked the diagram - 1T26 09.46 KLN - KGX, 1T28 12.12 KGX - ELY, terminating short at Cambridge due late running, 1T35 13.53 ELY - KGX starting Cambridge, 1T42 15.42 KGX - KLN, 1T53 17.40 KLN - KGX and 1T60 20.09 from KGX, as per 43102EMR's post. RTT shows 1T10 as formed by 1P83, 06.05 from Peterborough (PBO), so did 387303 and 387304 work one of last night's KGX - PBO services?
The 20:09 it was working terminated at Ely vice Kings Lynn

Doesn't it usually? I think a second Liverpool St to King's Lynn service used to run in its path north, but not since 2020.The 20:09 it was working terminated at Ely vice Kings Lynn

The 20.09 from Kings Cross is booked to terminate at Ely. All the XX.12/XX.09 departures from Kings Cross to Ely terminate there except for the 18.09 and 23.09 which are Kings Lynn services.

Believe they worked the 2342 Kings Cross to Cambridge and would've stabled in Cambridge Sidings for the night.

387301 and 387302 are out on 1T14 08:42 KGX-KLN. Not sure if this is their first day in service with GTR.
It will be - 303 and 304 were the first two last week. This just leaves 305 and 306 left to enter service.

Which 387/2s are still north of the Thames please? I know 387202/3/4/8 have all left Hornsey, but have all the others gone back south yet?
All I know is 201’s the /2 staying long-term with GN - not sure about the others.
