Default SVR cooled front seats ramps up and down. and leather seat question

So another question for you fine people.
2020 fpace svr with the heated and cooled front seats.
on low and medium fan setting you dont really feel much air if any coming out the back or bottom HOWEVER the main reason im making this thread is because if i put it on max 3 the fan sounds like a jet plane but it will go super loud and fast then bog down to like it on setting 1 then ramps back up to full speed for like 3 seconds then drops back down and it does this constantly when i turn it to 3.

So a couple questions is this normal when on setting 3?
Is there a way to check if the ducts or connections are proper and not disconnected?
Whats the filter number for a filter change if our seats have them?

Front passenger leather seat i noticed an issue. Where the hole on the back of seat is the leather is loose on the bottom and theres a slight gap. Is there a way to fix this. Ill get a better picture of the exact problem this evening.

No on setting 3 they should stay on full blast all the time, cycling sounds like there's an issue in the control side of that system. Is it the same on the backrest and cushion? They should be separate fans. That might narrow it down to a seat side issue or an HVAC module issue.

I didnt notice if just backrest or seat i thought it was 1 fan. Both driver and passenger seat does the ramp up and down though.

Looks like there may be software for this. If you provide your VIN I can check topix to see if your HVAC is at the latest level, to rule this out.

And just for reference, here's how the system looks inside the seats:

Looks like you do have newer HVAC software available, and your car also has an open recall for PCM software updates.
