As far as the readings, what was the outside temperature when you checked? Also, it is possible that the ductwork is longer for the driver's side and may take longer to fully cool.

Let me know if this is something that just started. Additionally, with the dual climate control, you have two blend door actuators. There is also a chance one isn't as responsive as the other.

Let me know as much as you can.
