Certainly the design of the system would dictate if the low charge could cause the issue. Here is another schematic. In this one the flow is not split between the drivers side and the passenger side until It gets to the heater core. In this case cold spots and warm spots in the evaporator would not cause one side to be cold and one side to be hot. A malfunctioning door at the position next to the heater core would be the cause. Unfortunately it’s difficult to get this information except perhaps in a detailed factory repair manual, or the direct experience of a mechanic on this particular vehicle model.
