Weird A/C issue on my 2008 Hybrid Limited. The passenger side vents blow ice cold, but the driver side is just pushing ambient/semi-cool air.

I thought it was low on freon, so I tried topping it off with a DIY recharge can, but no luck. I also tested the blend doors by cranking the heat all the way up and both sides get blazing hot, so the actuators seem to be working perfectly.

Has anyone else run into this? I'm guessing it might be a slow leak causing refrigerant starvation that needs a proper shop vacuum/recharge, but wanted to see if I'm missing a common gremlin before taking it to a mechanic. Any advice helps, thanks!
