Cupholder Ambient Light rings

[pls1]

Has anyone noticed an issue with their cupholder ambient light rings being dimmer on one than the other?
I bought a used 2020 4S several months ago and this was apparent from when I bought it. I mentioned it to the CPO at the time, and to be fair to them they did take a look at it when it went in recently for maintenance/updates. They said upon investigation the front cupholder light ring connector was disconnected, but upon getting the vehicle back it is still the same.
The ambient light controls work as expected (colour/brightness) if you excuse the 'Roof' brightness setting controlling the cupholder as others have found

There doesn't appear to be many posts about this apart one I found a few years ago on this forum where one wasn't working (but did after charging!)

Few pics to show the difference in brightness...

I had similar issues. I turned the brightness all the way up and then backed it down, settling on a level above wherever it was when I started (CPO car). It's been ok ever since.

The cup holders pop up fairly easily. You can check the LED and rings to see if they’re intact and not broken. I cracked my front one but it still lined up so the lights weren’t affected.

This video is helpful.

You can glue the rings (broke mine too) with hard PVC glue.
Works great and keeps the light going through no problem.
