Default Where is the blend door actuator?

Hello,

My AC is pushing cool air on the drivers side and hot on the passengers.

Does anyone have a link to a video or manual where to locate the blend door actuator in a 2016 350 F Sport?

I am new to Lexus ownership but this is a classic symptom of low refrigerant on Honda and Acura. I would have the refrigerant level checked before I pursued the blend door. I hope you will find that it is a slow leak from an O ring at one of the fittings as that is a relatively cheap fix.

There are three actuators, two behind glove box and one behind centre console drivers side.

This is another video but on a different model year on YouTube.

Wife's 2017 is blowing cold air on passenger side, and rear vents, but no air out of drivers side or center drivers side. Checked codes and getting 43 only. From what I see that's the actuator. Does anyone know the part number for this? And which one it would be?
