These data can be related via timestamps, they may be enabled for
conntrack output:

conntrack -o timestamp,ktimestamp -E ...

Note that timestamping for kernel module should be enabled via option
net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_timestamp (read man conntrack for details).

No rejection rules here. Look for your iptables rules to find sources
of rejection, then insert logging rules to debug.
