Check the temps when the tires are cold before starting the car in the morning.
If there is still a large difference, try resetting the TPMS system.
If the issue persists, it is time to replace the sensors.

Your car shows the temp of the tires?
My W204 only shows each tires psi.
Have you confirmed the temps with a laser thermometer? Check the rim temps, even brake rotor temps.

Maybe others can chime in if they are observing the same on the exact same model as yours, but don't worry too much about it. This happens with my '19 C63S Coupe, but in the case of the C63 it's the passenger front tire and it's normal. The cause has been tracked down to a radiator on that side directing hot air towards the passenger side front wheel. The thing to understand about the TPMS sensors when it comes to measuring the tire temperature is that they don't actually measure the compound temperature. They measure the air temperature near the valve, which is about the farthest away from the contact patch that you can get. So other heat sources like the brake discs and as said hot air from radiators in the front can skew the reading. Also the weight distribution affects the tire heat. Driving by yourself, there's more weight on the driver side front, so that tire naturally gets hotter. The more you put on the scale, the hotter it gets relative to the other side.

If the sun is shining on the left side tires, that would increase tire temperature slightly on that side. I would mostly pay attention to pressure, not so much to temperature. Pressure should be within a pound or two of recommendation. I like to run slightly low for comfort. Just enjoy the drive!!
