Default Ac Blows Strong Through Middle Vents Only

Hey everyone! Has anyone had the issue where the ac would blow strong through the middle vents and very soft through the side vents? The blower motor seems to be fine and I’ve cleaned the dust and debris out from it. I recently replace the blower motor resistor and the little dirt above the blower motor is also working fine. I’m not sure where else to check if those vents might be clogged up? Any help would be appreciated thank you!

I think that's fairly typical due to restrictive ducting inside the dash. I could be wrong.

Yeah, if you want more airflow from the sides, close one of the center vents.

It may sound odd but I got more airflow after flushing out the heater core on mine..
my side vents are stronger in air flow than the middle vents though.
