I'm not sure when they changed the design of the blade valve in those toilets - in our 2019, the blade valve simply rests on the bottom of the rubber seal, if on occasion something tries to get caught on it and creates a small leak, working the flush valve/blade open and closed several times usually cleans it off and it is good to go.
In our older trailer, the blade valve in the toilet seated in a groove at the bottom of the toilet when it closed. If the flush valve was opened and closed quickly, sometimes a bit of toilet paper or other debris wouldn't go down and could get caught on the edge of the blade valve as it closed and pushed into the groove in the rubber seal, causing a small leak. They used to make an L shaped tool - like a screwdriver with a bent end - to use to scrape around that groove in the seal, with the blade valve held open, and clean out any debris. If your toilet has that groove that the blade valve slides into, you might try cleaning out that groove - it's not necessary to have the special tool, a very short screwdriver or a short angled screwdriver would work fine, just be careful not to drop it.
