There's 4 bolts holding the sunroof glass to the sunroof assembly that you can reach from the inside of the car. There's an accordion looking plastic cover over top of them that pops out. I think the 2 bolts on the sagging side came loose. You just have to loosen those bolts, adjust the height to the proper level, and retighten them. The bolts are torx T25.

I had to replace my sunroof weatherstrip before and this was part of it.

I checked, all tight and no sign of any loose bolts. I still cant figure out why the sunroof only work from one side. I watched this video ( big fan of AMD channel) very informative because my strip seal also near life.
