Ask the examiner what area of operation, task and skill you failed. Tell him you are having trouble figuring this out. Call the FSDO and ask to speak to the DPE manager and keep elevating this until it’s solved. You won’t get in trouble or anything for doing so.

This assumes you didn’t fail for failure to control airspeed as described in the task, but it should be understood that the ILS usually includes different speeds and configurations at different points. Usually competent schools and instructors have specific profiles to fly for approaches, giving the target speeds.
Thank you thats really helpful
