Nope slip ring stays the same. I've been doing a lot of research on this today, going through the online service stuff in detail.

Unlike the F01, F10 where the slip ring and SZL is an ECU itself, the slip ring/SZL in the F20/F30/F15/F25 only relays the signals onto further ECUs like the FEM, BDC_BODY. In the F25 the signal is relayed onto the JBF, BUTTT the JBF here doesn't do anything with the signal and just passes it on to the EGS directly.

That's why to activate paddles in the F01, F10 you need to code the SZL, and in the F20/F30 you need to code the FEM, and in the F15/F16 you need to code the BDC_BODY.

So while my wiring is done till the JBBF, I've now realized that it makes no difference since the signals just pass through the JBBF onto another connector and then onto the EGS.

So now tomorrow I shall get the rest of the wiring done, and hopefully have working paddles.
