AHC - Swap the fates of the Oirats / Dzungars and Uyghurs

The challenge is to switch the fortunes of the Oirats / Dzungars and Uyghurs, so the Uyghurs roughly end up migrating to OTL Kalmykia while the Oirats / Dzungars remain in OTL Xinjiang with both areas still ending up being ruled by Russia and China respectively.
 
Near ASB. Not only do the majority of modern Oirats live in China (and the Dzubgars did not go to Kalmykia, the Dzungars are a branch of the Oirats just like the Kalmyks and not synonymous groups) the Uyghurs are sedentary (well, the nomadic Uyghurs are so ancient that the Oirats would be butterflied away if they went to Kalmykia), unlike the Oirats.
 
The Uyghurs weren't the people in charge of the state the Chinese were fighting, and benefited immensely from the destruction of the Oirats. I guess you could kill them off and have the Dzungars settle in their place, since didn't some of the survivors of their destruction settle down in Uyghur settlements? It would keep the Mongol element in Sinkiang strong as well as severely weaken Islam there.

Would it have been possible for surviving Uyghurs to reestablish a small ATL Khanate / Post-Soviet Republic in Central Asia from parts of OTL Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan (paralleling the OTL surviving Oirats who established Kalmykia)?

Or is it more likely that the surviving Uyghurs would have simply assimilated among the rest of the mostly Turkic speaking population in Central Asia (particularly among the Uzbeks potentially allowing for the ethnonym "Karluk" to be revived) or perhaps even welcomed by the Ottomans in a similar manner to the Circassians, Karachays, Crimean Tartars, etc?

Keep the Tocharians in Sinkiang. Then move the Uyghurs to the Caucasus. I don't know enough about the Qirats.
