Any error codes?

If you have an error on the dash it won't let you Adapt, is the car lowered?

If you have any quieries for interior or exterior LED's then get in touch.

That's where you're going wrong. Go to basic settings, group 001 then Go. Then up arrow to go to group 002 and that will learn the position.

Look in the measuring blocks to see what the level senders are reading.

That might be your problem. I think they have to be close to 2.5 to be able to learn the position.

Is your car level? I'm slightly surprised at the much higher reading at the rear, but maybe it's normal that it goes the other way.

if you can be bothered, might be worth jacking the car at a strategic point to get the values closer to 2.5 front and rear to see if you can complete the basic settings.
