In case of F5 downgrade, you may have to manually do the configuration unless you have ucs file that was generated on the version to which you are downgrading. Now in your case, you do not have UCS file. So you may need to do configuration manually.

 

Also i think in your case, install configuration 'YES' option will not help you as it has only condition that the version of the boot location which is going to activate must be equal or greater than the version of the current boot location which is active before downgrade.

In your case, this condition is also not fulfilling as current running version (12.1.5.x) is lower than target version (12.1.3.x). If you still try to activate it by selecting install configuration ‘YES’, the activation will fail. Earlier I did not saw it properly that your target version is lower than currently running version.

 

Below articles will give you more clarity on this.
