Air suspension after jacking up car

I jacked up my car the other day and found that the ride height changed. It's higher up (more space between wheel well and tire gap) in the front and lower in the back. I've done this before and it would generally go back eventually.. but a day later, it's still wrong ride heights. Anyone else experience this problem? and how to reset the height?

Have you cycled through comfort to s to s+ while the engine was running?

yeah, I turned the car on and cycled through the different modes. I heard the air suspension releasing air etc as I cycled through the different modes. However, upon going out, the ride height is definitely still different than it should be?

FYI For future reference leave the driver or passenger side door open when you jack the car up, by doing this the height will not be affected.
