Default New RS3 owner- Break sensitivity in comfort mode

Hi,
I recently bought my Audi RS3 2018.
Is there any way to adjust the break sensitivity.
I find the break sensitivity in comfort mode unbearable.
Way too harsh. I would like the breaks to be more like they are in dynamic mode.

There is no difference in braking between the modes
engine response, suspension (if so equipped), differential, steering are the main things altered by the modes

In comfort mode i really only have to tough the brake and it brakes pretty harsh, in dynamic i have to step on it a lot more and it brakes more naturally.

That seems pretty odd... As far as I know, brake sensitivity isn't changed with the different modes.

When I get my car back, I will have to go try the brakes in each mode. I don't recall ever feeling any difference, but I'll pay more attention next time.

Are you in the US? Asking in case you have a different version of my car.
