Access to the IMQ interface sits between the mangle and DNAT tables in the PREROUTING chain and after the connection tracking table in the POSTROUTING chain. There isn't much point in setting marks for the IMQ from the INPUT and FORWARD chains as these are traversed AFTER the IMQ interface (PREROUTE). To correctly set the marks then you would need to set them in the mangle table of the PREROUTE chain and do it based on address. Hope this helps.
