My A/C has developed two issues. First, It only cools on the drivers side vents. Second, It has a hissing noise coming from the vents as well.

Sorry that I'm not familiar with your model, but given your second dandy observation of the hissing sound, I'd suspect your system uses vacuum-operated actuators and one of them is leaking or its hose is disconnected. Search the source of that sound first, and hope solving that solves the vent issue.
