Steering wheel goes up/down but not in/out

Hello everyone!

Last year I bought a BMW X5 2003 4.4 from a friend who got it new. It has been a bit neglected but it's overall in great shape (162000 miles now). This is my "work truck" as we also have a new 340i Xdrive M-Sport.

I have been slowly fixing up little things (door handles, new radiator, a/c) and I have a couple other things coming up (valve covers, radio, windshield).

I have been reading a bunch of threads here and learning new knowledge but there is one thing I have not been able to find too much info so far.

The power steering wheel will come up and down but not in or out.

It looks like there are 2 separate motors? Which one control the in/out?

I found this one video but it's a little bit hard to follow:

Is there a separate fuse for the 2 movements? Any easy way to tell if indeed the motor is faulty?

thank you for any additional information before I start taking things apart...
