Default 2021 Ambient light sensor?

The pcm display on the nav screen can't decide what time of day it is. It constantly switches from day to night mode duing daylight.

Where is the setting if any or the ambient light sensor to make sure it's not blocked etc?

I've noticed that mine will flip my Waze (via CarPlay) into night mode if my headlights come on (I leave my lights on auto). I believe the sensor is where the rear view mirror attached to the windshield. If you look from the outside, you'll see a cutout for the sensors there. I always try to keep that area as clean as possible. Of course that spot is the hardest for me to reach being vertically challenged!
