Default Middle air vents to rear seats - no air flow

On the passenger side I did change the servo (mode switch motor?) which is on the top left of the passenger side and I observed that the other servo on the top right which controls flow of indoor/outdoor air both work.

Darn. My issue is the vents in the back seat which come right off the armrest in the middle of the car - they won't blow air.

I could observe one more servo on the passenger side which was lowest to the floor and I know there are one or more on the drivers side.

Is there any diagram to show which servo's blow air to which vents?

Or could someone tell me if it's that last bottom servo will fix my issue?

I was pressed for time so counted my blessings replacing one servo (top left passenger side). It wasn't that bad but that last one is really tucked down there and not 100% certain I would be successful replacing that one - if that is the one.

Thanks for everyone's help!

Update: Issue is fixed. Poor testing on my part. See my reply below.

I am answering my own question here because after completing the servo change I did go back into my car to further test and I am happy to report the air through the center vents to the back seat are indeed working! I think I did not have the vents in the full open position to feel the airflow and I had a fan blowing as it was super hot out while I was doing the repair.

I just wish I had put some additional grease on the new servo I put in there but I want to purchase the right kind of grease. I think I could easily open up the area and easily reach the servo to apply once I get the grease.
