Any thoughts are welcome.

Have you done anything to your vents? If not, I have some improvements to suggest. I have the same model.

On the end vents I sprayed expanding foam. Once it dries you can shape it. Use rags to test it first. Plug the ends just past the vents. Front and back vents. You'll likely find that most of the air was blowing right past the vents. With it plugged I get a lot more air out the vents.

I also took off the inside AC cover and found the divider was loose. Also found the air diverter that sends air back to the bedroom on the driver's side wasn't properly installed. I had a lot of wasted AC going nowhere. I used some AC Duct tape and covered every space inside that same cover. It also helped reduce a lot of noise. There was air blowing across all sorts of surfaces.
