Swap Seat Control Modules from Right to Left Sides

Can I swap the seat control module from the passenger side to the drivers side? The left on e might be bad but I could check if I swap in the right one and see of the motors work.

Thw PN is 61359264974. RealOEM says my car has 2 of these. So I figure they are the same.

Tried it yesterday and it sort of worked. At first nothing in the seat worked except the lumbar and side bolsters. Then I hit the ignition once and then the seat had power. The longitudinal motor still didn't work but others did. I moved the other motors around and then the longitudinal motor started working again. The issue is quite intermittent, but I've narrowed it down to the motor or FOD in the tracks that I can't see.

The only issue with swapping the modules is that the up/down motor was reversed (push the switch up and the seat goes down) and the memory function doesn't work. I suspect come coding is involved to correct that.

I swapped the modules back where they belong and everything is working, for now.
