HVAC delayed start and default to defrost/feet?

My wife’s car listed above is an LE model. The HVAC system started having a delayed start after turning on the vehicle taking 30-60 seconds before turning on. Once the A/C is on, it defaults to defrost and always blows on the feet. I’m able to change the air a bit to blow on the face but no matter the setting it always blows on the feet. I checked the blend door actuator located next to the blower motor under the glove box but that one controls the temperature and worked properly. I believe the mode door actuator that controls the air direction may be failing but I’m not sure how to find it. I also noticed a buzzing/clicking noise that changes speed when I change the fan speed. I took 2 videos showing how long the delay is and the second shorter video shows the clicking noise.
