Honeymoon over! Pool of water found in passenger side

Update:
I think I found the culprit! As Nevilusa suggested, I pulled the AC drain lines. Immediately upon pulling the driver side water came pouring out of it. I hadn't run the car in about two days and yet water was still in those lines. I did as his video suggested and first blasted the lines with about 150psi. When I unclamped the passenger side I saw this:
I got a small pick and out came 3 rocks and some grit. I clamped the driver side, blasted the passenger with air (just in case they cross-over). Then I got some of my 3d printer filament spool and unwound a few feet to feed into the lines and run back and fourth. I fed them through then pulled them through from under the vehicle. Dislodged a small piece of plastic from the driver side one.
Finally I got a bottle of water and poured it down the passenger side, at a pretty quick pace to see if it could keep up, and sure enough it drains very quickly now. Same with the driver side.
Given that water was STILL pooled in the lines after 2 days of sitting, and now it evacuates water as fast as I can pour a quart in, I think I may have found the culprit.
The front sunroof drains look new, I'll still check the rears. I have already done the A-pillar TSB and cowl, so fingers crossed folks!
Cheers all and thanks for the help! I'll update this after it's back together and I've done more road testing.

When the AC drain line clogs and starts pouring all over your wife's feet on the interstate at 75mph you learn real quick about cleaning out that hose. In my BRZ the fan is behind the glove compartment and dumps on the passenger floor, I don't sit on the passenger side but she who already doesn't like the car does...
