Check the sunroof drain hose that goes through the a pillar. The hose sometimes cracks or falls off the plug completely. It's super simple to remove the cover and inspect it. I had the same problem on mine but on the driver side. Check it ASAP before expensive electronics get wet and broken.

I had to same issue a few years back. It came from sunroof. Lucky still under CPO. anyways, the hose/drainage, housing or gasket around there was cracked, causing the water to flow into the passenger floor. Sorry to be so vague but it was years ago. But mine was from the sunroof.
Also, fix the tabs that hook onto the floor mats. I did not tell the stealer and now after few years, would not screw into the floor. there seems to be some sort of protrusion or rise off the floor due to water damage.

Good luck.
