Default A/c "leak"

I use the term leak in quotations because the leak I'm concerned about is what seems like an unusual amount of air coming in on my right leg when the HVAC is set for the top vents when the AC is on.
I'm fine with a little bit of air bleeding off, but this is annoying.
Thanks!

cold air (from AC) or warm air (from outside?) if cold air, could be the mode door not operating right?

Cold air from the center, above and right of my right leg. I know there's a tube there for heat/air, I wonder if I disturbed it when I re installed my radio bezel?

there's a little tube (smaller than you'd think) that you might have knocked loose.

if i remember right its like under the carpet on the tunnel up close the pedals. Mine was missing and i had to replace it when i bought my car. nothing something you can really see -- but if you have it, it should be easy to find it. i had trouble finding where it actually connect once i finally realized i didn't even have it.

either way though -- it shouldn't blow much air when your A/C isn't on split or floor mode.
