Any ideas on how I can get some contrastive nasal fricatives such as in Waffa in Papua New Guinea?

Would this be a valid way of achieving a phonemic voiceless bilabial nasal?
Basically I just use nasal assimilation.

pVN > m̥VN > m̥V

(V = any vowel, N = any nasal)

*pan > m̥an > m̥a

This could literally make no sense, please correct me if I'm wrong

Anyway I can develop Linguolabials?

Any idea of what I could turn /ɬ/ into?

Thanks to both of you!

I'm newer to conlanging, so I hope i don't say something completely implausible, but anyway is it plausible for [ts] and [dz] to be allophones of velar consonants before front vowels? Thanks in advance!

Thank you
