Answer
There are 2 damper door actuators, One for the drivers side and one for the passengers side as well as a vent controller for each side. Most likely the damper door actuator on the passengers side is faulty and due to it's location way up under the dash, A diagnostic scanner that has the ability to test the actuators needs to be utilized to determine fault.
