blind spot sensors

Someone messed around with both of my side view mirrors. Nothing broken but I am now getting a warning about my blind spot sensors and they are not working. Is that a coincidence or could somebody inadvertently messed them up. Where are the sensors on the kona electric? thank you
The radar units are under the rear corners of the back bumper cover.

That why I’m wondering why somebody messing with mirrors caused a problem. The indicators for Blind Spot are in the mirrors so I’m pretty sure they are tied into the system.
The blind spot sensor error would come from the radar units at the back corners.
Hard to say more without additional info.
The mirror leds are driven from the corresponding radar unit at the back corner.
Possible that if something happened to the leds or wiring, it may mess up the radar functionality, but they usually engineer protection in for shorts and opens. Perhaps that's the source of the error

This is the schematic from my old Venue. Probably the modules are same or similar enough to use for reference.

It's possible there are error codes displayed in the Bluelink app, under Car Care, Diagnostic Report.
