Default strange clicking noise by center vents

sometimes when I start the car in the morning there is a strange clicking sound by the right center vents. When I change the setting from recirculate to fresh it stops. then if I change it back to recirculate it dosent do it again. Any ideas?

Because the servos may be going bad or sticking and needs to be replaced. There are three of them. They are easy to change out unless you have large hands.
