Air suspension problems

I have a 2013 cls550 I recently purchased with a blown passenger air bag which I replaced. After replacing the airbag I recalibrated the suspension height due to the previous owner starting the calibration but being unable to complete it. After calibration and driving it, the driver side especially front was way higher and passenger rear was a lot lower. I am thinking one of the height sensors is bad and causing it to do this. Is there anyway I can diagnose a bad sensor, or if it’s a valve block issue? I was having problems with calibration getting it to lower correctly. Any advise will help before I have to take it to the dealer thanks.

I'd start by visually checking the level sensors. They can be installed incorrectly (inverted) and cause problems. Make sure the pivoting arm on the sensor is in the right position.

I inspected them everything seems to be fine . I was able to finish the calibration but afterwards started having one side raised. So I’m thinking one of the sensors are failing but not sure how to diagnose them.
