Airmatic issue - left side of car is lower

Hello, I have problem with my full airmatic susspension in my w211. The left side is lower then the right side. I measured the height of the car, like ine the picture, from center point of wheel to fender edge (centimeters):

raised mode:
-front left: 38.5 (1.7 lower)
-front right: 40.2
-rear left: 37.3 (0.7 lower)
-rear right: 38

comfort mode:
-front left: 36.5 (1.5 lower)
-front right: 38
-rear left: 35 (1.7 lower)
-rear right: 36.7

sport 2 mode:
-front left: 35.6 (1.4 lower)
-front right: 37
-rear left: 33.9 (1.6 lower)
-rear right: 35.5

The results are the same regardless of whether the car has been standing for 2 weeks or I check it right after driving. There is no errors in dashboard.

What I already checked/did:
-The pillows don't leak - they seem to be ok, but it's hard to check through the dust covers. Also, if it was leaking, the car would go down after it was parked (correct me if I am wrong).
-Configuration under the diagnostic computer - it is maxed to the right side be lower.
-I replaced air suspension compressor solenoid valve block (A2113200158)

My ideas:
-Replace rear suspension stabilizer (A2113202111) - the rear level sensor is mounted to the stabilizer.
-Replace suspension self level sensors - all 3 (A0105427617) - maybe they give wrong altitude readings.
-Replace rear and front leveling rod (A2113201889, A2193230016) - maybe rusty/broken.
-Is it possible that the previous car owner replaced the air suspension shock only on one side and this is causing the problem?
-Could it be that the compressor issue and is not fully pumping?

I am asking for advice and ideas on how to fix this
