VL53l8CX SPI not working

[susba]

Hi,

I am using VL53L8CX sensor from Pololu and connected it with Nucleo-F411RE board. I am using Arduino IDE 2.3 where I have downloaded STM32duino VL53L8CX library. When I run HelloWorld_I2C example with the wire  connections as mentioned with (SPI/I2c-->GND, Lpn-->A3), I am getting the distance result. But when I do the same with the HelloWorld_SPI example with mentioned connection (SPI/I2c-->3v3, Lpn-->3v3), I am getting nothing. When I put the breaker in between, the initialization itself fails saying sensor initialization status 1. 

I would be a great relief if you could help me with this.

Thank you

This problem is the same as:

Basically, the manufacturer thought he would save some money and switched a part on the board.
