Compute in a closed form the following sum : $\sum_{n=1}^{+\infty}\frac{\Gamma^{4}(n+\frac{3}{4})}{(4n+3)^{2}\Gamma^{4}(n+1)}$

Today Im going to find the closed form of :

$\sum_{n=1}^{+\infty}\frac{\Gamma^{4}(n+\frac{3}{4})}{(4n+3)^{2}\Gamma^{4}(n+1)}$

My attempt :

We know that : $\Gamma(z)=\int_0^{+\infty}t^{n-1}e^{-t}dt$

So : $\Gamma^{4}(n+\frac{3}{4})=\int_{[0,+\infty[}(xyzt)^{n-\frac{1}{4}}e^{-x-y-z-t}dxdydzdt$

But the problems in : $\sum_{n=1}^{+\infty}\frac{x^{n}}{(4n+3)^{2}(n!)^{4}}$ I think related with hypergeomtric function

if there some trick to compute this original sum drop here , thanks!

As one could expect, the result must involve hypergeometric function.

A CAS gave for the infinite summation $$\frac{\Gamma \left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^4 \left(3136 \left(\, _5F_4\left(\frac{3}{4},\frac{3}{4},\frac{3}{4},\frac{3}{4},\frac{3}{4};1,1,1,\frac{7}{4};1\right)-1\right)-243 \, _6F_5\left(\frac{7}{4},\frac{7}{4},\frac{7}{4},\frac{7}{4},\frac{7}{4},\frac{7}{4};2,2,2,\frac{11}{4},\frac{11}{4};1\right)\right)}{28224}$$ and its numerical representation is $0.0211403036686719835443455214070$.

Inverse symbolic calculators do not identify this number but it seems to be very close to the positive root of $$ 43 x^2+141 x-3=0 \implies x=\frac{1}{86} \left(\sqrt{20397}-141\right)\approx 0.02114030330$$

Edit

In order to keep it, I shall mention that $\color{red}{\text{David H}}$ greatly simplified the expression to $$\sum_{n=1}^{+\infty}\frac{\Gamma^{4}(n+\frac{3}{4})}{(4n+3)^{2}\Gamma^{4}(n+1)}=\frac{4 \pi ^4}{9 \Gamma \left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^4}\left(\, _6F_5\left(\frac{3}{4},\frac{3}{4},\frac{3}{4},\frac{3}{4},\frac{3}{4},\frac{3}{ 4};1,1,1,\frac{7}{4},\frac{7}{4};1\right)-1 \right)$$
