Sensor intrinsics for VL53L8CH

I am working with the ST VL53L8CH sensor for research purposes. To generate a point cloud from depth measurements, I am trying to get the directional ray to each zone. I am wondering if there is a more detailed explanation of the configuration for SPAD maps in this diagram:

For example, in a similar sensor, the AMS TMF882X sensor datasheet has the following information for how SPADS map to each zone:

If not, is it reasonable to assume that the 16x16 zones uniformly make up the 45° x 45° square FoV, or is manual calibration with a known scene necessary?

The VL53L5 and the L8 have the same FoV. So, the code in this post is identical to what you want.
