Subaru 2020 Forester-Smelly Socks/Musty Odor

Hi, I have a 2020 Forester and my car has a very strong odor to it. I ran an ozone machine through it and no luck, so that tells me it must be internal. There is no wetness or moisture coming from the passenger side floor and I have changed the cabin air filter.

I bought Lubegard HVAC System Cleaner and ran the tube under my car through the tube… I didn’t have a car lift so I did my best to shimmy under there and stick it in, it seems like most of the foam shot right back out. I’m not sure if clogged or user error…

My next step is to go buy something to spray in the vents and run my cars AC on internal air flow. But before I go out and buy more stuff I wanted to come to the good folks of Reddit and see if anyone could point me in the right direction?
