To see if it is a mechanical air distribution problem, depending on how much you want to DIY, if you were to pop out the ACC module (and probably remove the glove box and RH side console cover in the footwell for easier access), you can see the the small round flat motor tucked into the center of the console (two screws) directly forward of the ACC. That is the one that adjusts the air circulation.
If you turn on the heat and change the air from floor to defrost to vents etc, you should be able to hear the little motor moving. It makes a little ch-ch-ch-ch sound. If no sound (or put your finger on the motor while you change the setings and feel it is not doing anything), it may be shot (rare) or the mechanism behind it stuck somehow.
You can remove the little motor by taking out the two screws. Behind the motor is a socket for the motor shaft (IIRC) that you can move manually by outting a screwdriver into it to see if the mechanism itself is hung up. If you can get air from all the proper combinations by turning it back and forth manually with the screwdriver, at least you have eliminated a binding mechanism.
If all the moving parts are moving as they should, someone else will have to take you the next step.
