Default Active steering malfunction

Hey so I have a 2004 bmw 545i 130,000km has heads up install in it

Getting active steering malfunction and some codes. The light stays on even after erasing codes

First time running codes I got
Active steering codes 614a, 612e
Dynamic stability codes 5f62, 5eac, 5e96, 5f7a, 5e60, 5f10

after I Deleted codes and got
Active steering 612e, 614a
Dynamic stability 5f62

The active steering module might have gotten when not 100% sure it did. There was water under the carpet but the module was dry. I tried to reset the wheel angle position in INPA but it will not work
Any suggestions would help greatly, don't want to start throwing parts at it and pay for programming and coding
Not sure if these pictures mean anything

Did i-drive throw a notice, such as dynamic malfunction? Have you checked the fluid level in the power steering reservoir?

yeah I-drive is throwing the code immediately as I start the car doesn’t go away even after delaying the codes

I checked the fluids first before anything wasn’t low but topped it off anyways

I removed the active steering module and all my carpet to make sure any condensation issue was addressed

so far that is all i have done, I have found a cheap module but don’t want to buy that if it’s not the issue

Have you cleaned the connectors with electrical cleaner? I know I had to do that with a couple modules that were having issues

Worn out SZL can give you those errors, although if there was water under the passenger carpet...

Did you sync the timing with the szl? If not then you would have other errors.
