Default 2000 RX300 blend actuator help please

I know there are 3 because I removed the glove box and replaced the easiest one to get to only to figure out it wasn’t the one making all the noise. 2 are side by side and fairly accessible but the one making all my noise is the one up higher and behind the cd changer. Is that the recirculate actuator or what? I can’t figure out how to order the correct one. It also looks like a nightmare to get to so any pointers on that would be helpful. I did do a search before asking but had no luck.

The blend door is to the left behind the evaporator lines. The mode actuator is beside that toward you. The air recirculation actuator is to the left of your cabin filter.

Replaced my recirculation actuator today. It is terrible to get that top screw.

I got mine replaced today. Wasn’t as bad as I was expecting once I removed the cd changer.
