Description
I'm working on detecting the distance of the placed object using VL53L1X, for the enhancement of the angle of coverage, I'm using two sensors as show in the image
, but if I run i2cdetect -y 0 it shows as shown in the picture,
for the both sensors.
After the usage details from pololu (https://forum.pololu.com/t/using-multiple-vl53l1x-with-raspberry-pi/16651/7) I have tried to change the address of the single sensor using the python script address_change_new.txt attached but the error occurred as
shown in the picture
Kindly help me to get rid of it. Or suggest me a way to change the address of VL53L1X using python script.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the attached address_change_new.txt script, the VL53L1X usage details, and the reported i2cdetect -y 0 output. Reproduce the address-change error with a single sensor on Raspberry Pi, then verify that two sensors appear at distinct addresses and that the Python script completes successfully.
