You said the clocks were malfunctioning. If they were malfunctioning they wouldn't be reliable. And yet GPS works very well and has been working well for many years. How do you account for the differing rates of the moving and the stationary clocks?
The clocks being in space has nothing to do with it. The rate of discrepancy is due to the clock's motion. The clock's motion relative to the other clock. Let's not call it time dilation. Let's just say that some mysterious mechanism causes clocks to run at differing rates when they are moving very quickly.
In order to understand the process of different data given by clocks of the same class located in different environments, you must use clocks -of the same or of a different class- to experiment with them.
Lets say.

1)- five digital Texas watches were used for this experiment.
2)- all of the watches were with new batteries and their data was monitored for a week to check their equal result.
3)- two of the watches were located in a wall at regular environment, it was Spring time, no need of air conditioner or heating.
4)- one watch was located in the freezer compartment of a refrigerator
5) one watch was located in a blade of a fan running 24/7 (the other blades weight was compensated using single pole switches which were of the same weight of the watch)
6)- one watch was located outside the building.
Results after a week.
1)- watches hanging in the wall and watch placed outside the building, and watch placed in fan's blade showed no difference in data. (Note that after 35 days the watch placed in the fan's blade showed one second ahead in comparison with the watches in wall and outside the building)
2) watch inside the freezer compartment showed no data when took out of the refrigerator but data was visible after a few minutes. From here
a) the daily monitoring showed of 5 seconds
ahead every day.
b) the rate of being ahead was regular, 5 seconds per day.
2)- after two weeks, one of the watches hanging on the wall replaced the watch inside the freezer compartment. The watch from the freezer compartment was placed hanging on the wall. From here
a)- the watch inside the freezer compartment showed the same 5 seconds
ahead per day. The regular rate of delay didn't change for weeks.
b)- the watch that was exposed to freezing temperatures and later hung on the wall at normal environment stop showing malfunction and its data was given as it was calibrated from manufacturer.
____________________________________________
The conclusion made was that a different environment -other than the environment where the watches were made and calibrated- will cause the malfunction of digital watches.
____________________________________________
This experiment also showed that the rate of malfunction was regular and not so disparate.
This is to say, that one can use a device for updating the different data given by the watch inside the freezer compartment to fit with the data of the watch hanging on the wall.
______________________________________
This simple experiment from above shows that the mechanism of the watch itself was the affected one by the change of environment.
No time dilatation or similar fantasy was even optional to explain the observation.

The malfunction of atomic clocks in outer space is under a regular rate because the speed of the satellite is the same continually.
For this reason, we can use a receiver to update the data of the affected atomic clock. As atomic clocks are made with same mechanism, their affected mechanism will provide a similar affected data in all the clocks of the same class..
_______________________________________
The best explanation for the phenomena happening in atomic clocks in outer space is the environment to which these clocks are exposed, which is an environment different from the environment in which these clocks were calibrated.
This is to say, you build an atomic clock in outer space and you calibrate it to pair an atomic clock made on earth, such data delay or data ahead from the atomic clock in outer space won't happen.
Lets say, here on earth you have calibrated the atomic clock to a fixed rate of counting 9,192,631,770 vibrations of the atom of Cesium in order to have a "tic", a second.
If you build an atomic clock in outer space and you want to pair its data equally with the data of atomic clocks on ground zero, then the calibration must be at a variable rate and counting, as an example, 9,192,600,000 vibrations to have a "tic", a second.
_______________________________________
The cause of the different data from the atomic clock in outer space in comparison with the data of same clocks on ground zero is that atoms (matter and energy in general) behave different in different environments.
It has been accepted that the speed of light is different inside our atmosphere in comparison with same light traveling in vacuum, which is a different environment.
You have plenty evidence from tests made in the space station that everything coming from earth to that space station is affected by the different environment.
As you can see, a regular rate of malfunction in clocks is a fact, proved in the experiment with cheap Texas watches.
If you have doubts about what you have read in this message, you don't need to ask for more, just buy the cheapest watches you can find in the market, and follow the same simple procedure narrated above, and you will obtain the same result from a watch installed in the freezer compartment: a regular rate of malfunction showing the same variation of number of seconds in its data in comparison with the watch located in a regular environment.
Please don't argue that one can't compare cheap digital watches with atomic watches.
The expectation was a complete malfunction or data delay from the watches inside the freezer compartment. The freezing temperatures inside the refrigerator are variable but are under a parameter which will maintain an average temperature.
The experiment made with Texas watches showed an unexpected result of a regular rate malfunction, it was surprise, but it did guide for the explanation of the same regular rate malfunction in atomic clocks in outer space.
