LED Light Carpet on Passenger side not working

Hey, I just realised after my car went to update the ECU at the local dealer that the LED Light Carpet on the passenger side is not working.
The driver side works fine, but on the passenger side it appear to be only white LED light with out the lines like on the driver side.
Anyone know what causes this problem?

Thank you!

Below is the picture in case you don't know what it is.

Sorry no help as to why it's not working ... but I hope there is a way to disable that feature... It's one of the first things I'll do /if possible.

There are a few hundred micro optic lenses that adjust to produce the pattern. They may have gone bad or the update has a little problem.

I figured out the problem already! There is a small dust inside the LED light, that's ALL! I have to clean it deeply, just washing and dry isn't enough for this G11/12

Thanks guys!

That's exactly what the micro reflectors are designed to compensate for. Very unusual.
