Resolved! Discrepancy Between 4x4 and 8x8 Resolution Distance Output

I am currently testing the VL53L7CX sensor(w/ vl53l5cx_api) with the STM32F7 MCU. The default resolution of 4x4, when running, would consistently return distances around 2.5 -3.0 meters with a target status code of 5 for multiple runs. I then tested ...
