2017 G63 rear seat dome light not turning on when doors opened

I’m not sure exactly when this happened, but since about the time I got my 30K service done about a week ago, my rear seat dome light doesn’t come on when the front or rear doors are opened. If I press the individual reading light switches for the rear seat lights, those lights work. The rear cargo area light comes on when it should and the front dome light comes on when the front doors are opened. There’s a switch on the front overhead control panel that’s supposed to turn the cargo / rear lighting on and off, but when I press it, nothing seems to happen. The other lighting switch on that panel is in the middle auto setting. Am I missing a switch somewhere that someone at the dealer may have changed? It’s obviously also possible that a bulb may have blown or there could be some sort of wiring issue. If I can’t figure it out, the dealer will deal with it under warranty next time I’m at the dealership. This is on a 2017 G63.

I had the dealer check it out yesterday and the problem is the front roof control panel (the one with the sunroof controls). Naturally, it’s back ordered, so it may be a while.

I’ve also had rear tail light assemblies on back order since September also covered by warranty - they both have significant cracks, but no signs of having been hit by a stone or anything.

i know these are low production vehicles, but it would be nice to be able to obtain parts when needed. Fortunately, none of these items are critical, assuming the cracked tail light assemblies don’t fail Massachusetts state inspection next month.
