Surprise! Everything is going bad now.

At the very back of my 2013 E63 estate, on the left side, I could hear scraping. After I brought it to a nearby MB specialist, they advised me to get a new shocker.
I got the shocker changed, but on the drive home I discovered that the adaptive suspension button was frozen on one light, making it impossible to manipulate.
They are unable to reprogram the level sensor, he informed me when I returned it. So I scheduled the installation of a new level sensor. However, after they finished the job, he contacted me to inform me that they had encountered a another issue—the right shocker's valves were no longer functioning. He then informed me that I also needed a shocker on that side since the adaptive suspension was still not functioning properly.
When I returned home and checked on the vehicle the following day, I noticed that the suspension had significantly lowered. Before now, I've never experienced this issue.
Is there something suspicious going on here, or is this just a coincidence?
Many thanks
