SmartWings Blinds Inconsistently Opening & Closing (self.smarthomes)

I just received my SmartWings blinds last week and really like them so far, but I'm having a small issue. I have them scheduled to open to 40%, but some of them go up to 60% instead. Even weirder, it's not the same blinds that do it. It's like they take turns on who's going to open to far today.

At night, and will also open all the way even though the routine says to close.

Any idea how I can fix this? If not, I can try changing their drivers which I saw on some Reddit posts.

Update: I tried installing the drivers online and it seems to have fixed the issue. Here's what I did:

Enroll in this channel. Then hit Ctrl+F, and type [your motor type] + "window treatment". For example, I have Zigbee motors, so I typed "Zigbee Window Treatment". That driver is the one I need
Click Install
Open your SmartThings app, tap on your blinds, tap the 3 dots in the top right, tap Driver, and then select Select Different Driver. Use the one that you installed from that channel, It should have "mc" at the end of its name
- Do that for all your blinds
Done!
