VL53L1x: As per the VL53L1x sensor datasheet, slave ID is 0x29. but sensor is responding to 0x4D . Even after XSHUT pin is pulled down , device is responding to slave ID 0x4D.

I have connected VL53L1X sensor to Onion omega2+ controller i2c driver. I2c clock frequency is set to 100khz. For Detecting Slave Devices we have used below command:"i2cdetect -y 0"Output of above command:root@***:~# i2cdetect -y 0   0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 ...

VL53L1X strongest / nearest reflector

Is there any way to configure the VL53L1X sensor to deliver either the strongest or nearest reflector (reflector at closest distance) ? The latter case would be preferrable for our application scenario.
