There is indeed evidence of Catholic Northern Albanians from Mirdita and other regions to have settled there. Most of J2b-L283 among Tosks is under 631, other groups like North East Greeks and Aromanians might also have "increased" it. The near total absence of J2b-L283 in Arvanites and Tosks is a perfect "modern" example of why J2b-L283 cannot be linked to the ancestors of Proto-Albanians in any way.
It's a big giveaway. The fact that J2b or I2a-Dinaric or R1a did not travel with the Arvanites or Arberesh, despite that these people had to have moved through southern Albania shows, that J2b has a similar story to I2a-Dinaric and R1a. These haplogroups merged with the Albanian nation after the 1300-1400s. Before that, they were treated as anasi, subject to raids and tribute payments.
