How to access the Climate Control Flapper Motors?

Can someone tell me how to access the AC flapper motors?

My car's driver side air vents are not blowing cold air while the passenger side is working normally. It seems one of the flapper motors on the driver side is not working. But I don't know the way to access it and replace it. I removed the center console and the navigation/radio unit. I can see those flapper motors, but don't have the access to replace them. Do I have to remove the dash? or what's the procedures for replacing them?

I think I might have the same or similar problem.
2022 SL63 (R232)
The air on the drivers side comes out hotter than ambient temperature. This happens in auto or manual, even with the temperature setting dialed all the way down to coldest setting (60).
On the passenger side, the air is coming out chilly, even though a warmer setting is selected.
So I tried to reverse driver, and passenger settings to see if that would remedy the result. But it didn’t.
I am seriously considering taking it back to dealership.
