Autorotate Screen on a Convertible 2-in-1 Laptop?

Is anyone running bunsenlabs on a convertible?

I am using a Lenovo X1 Carbon Yoga and it doesn't seem to pickup the alignment when I use it in portrait (tablet) or tent mode and autorotate accordingly.

Touchscreen works as expected. I have tried adding a few other packages suggested by search results but they either aren't in apt or work as expected.

It has worked on other distros so I think it isn't a hardware problem.

Not I, sir.
A quick search revealed that auto-rotation issues on the Lenovo X1 Carbon Yoga in Linux are often related to the iio-sensor-proxy package, which handles sensor data for screen rotation.  Users have reported that auto-rotation works in Xorg but not in Wayland.
