Default New exhaust woes

Short story:

installed new catback vavlved exhaust.

getting 3 CELs:
P31D3
P12E9
P12E7

My Creader tool wont relearn the new system. Says it is out of range. I assume I need to adjust the actuator arm on the AFM module. NPP valves open and close between Z and touring mode.

I do not feel like taking the rear bumper off again right now to gain acess to the AFM module linkages. Is it ok to continue to drive as is with this CEL? My mind says yes, but just need confirmation. side note: company i got it from was zero help. Their advice was....take it to gm and have them reprogram the exhaust.
