2007~2015 CX-9 A/C draining direct to passenger footwell

It’s been a while since my A/C drain got clogged and, unlike last time, I approached the task with confidence and therefore didn’t read the forums before tackling. I recalled reading references to the use of an air compressor but forgot the salient parts about this not being the best route and, if used, to use light pressure (a vacuum being the preferred approach).

I’ve come to own an air compressor since performing this operation the last time and gave the drain pipe several long, high pressure blasts with glee.

This was entirely the incorrect approach and now water drains onto the passenger carpet mere seconds after having the A/C running.

I presume I’ve caused something to become unsituated. Can anybody recommend / point me to info source on how to strip back necessary pieces to remedy the situation please?

Thank you.
