All combinations but n = 6 ( mod 15) lead to conflicts with the requirements:

If n=15k, then 19n+10 = 285k+10 is divisible by 5 (not a prime).
If n=15k+1, then 19n+2= 285k+21 is divisible by 3 (not prime).
If n=15k+2, then 19n+2= 285k+40 is divisible by 5 (not prime).
If n=15k+3, then 19n+8= 285k+65 is divisible by 5 (not prime).
If n=15k+4, then 19n+2= 285k+78 is divisible by 3 (not prime).
If n=15k+5, then 19n+4= 285k+99 is divisible by 3 (not prime).
If n=15k+6, all requirements are met
If n=15k+7, then 19n+2= 285k+135 is divisible by 15 (not prime).
If n=15k+8, then 19n+4= 285k+156 is divisible by 3 (not prime).
If n=15k+9, then 19n+4= 285k+175 is divisible by 5 (not prime).
If n=15k+10, then 19n+2= 285k+192 is divisible by 3 (not prime).
If n=15k+11, then 19n+4= 285k+213 is divisible by 3 (not prime).
If n=15k+12, then 19n+2= 285k+230 is divisible by 5 (not prime).
If n=15k+13, then 19n+2= 285k+249 is divisible by 3 (not prime).
If n=15k+14, then 19n+4= 285k+270 is divisible by 15 (not prime).

So the only variant to get 4 primes 19n+2, 19n+4, 19n+8 and 19n+10
is n=15k+6 in these modulo classes.
