slight lean at rear, NO leaks!?! pulling hair!

I know I know another airmatic thread. So a month or so ago took car to indie, he lowered car via star, very happy with results. A couple weeks ago I noticed a slight lean looking at the car from the ***. This is all the time. Confirmed with finger widths.

Drove the car more as I don't drive it very much. Nothing. Raised car up via console, while it looked like it was ready to climb mount lemon, looked almost level but still leaned.

Took car in for oil change, had them restore factory settings, checked for leaks, car is healthy, everything good. Now that it's back to stock height, it's not as obvious, but still have a f-ing lean. Checked and garage floor is level! this is minor, I mean I'mTalking probably 1/4 of an inch difference left vs right with right being higher. But front you could build a house of of. Back is like leaning tower of piza...ok not that bad but I can tell, and I'm not even that ****.

Is there something else that can be done? I suspect over inflation on the right side or underinflation on left, thing is with only one sensor in the back how can this be corrected? Can individual pressure be monitored/adjusted?

Any remedy? I want to get a lowering but I'm thinking it would probably keep the lean?

Would calibrating the ride height help?

Not really, mine just fixed itself I suppose.
