So I've found the alarm logs apparently it's the drivers door, what's the fix for that😂 I assumed it was the bonnet latch so stuck a paperclip in there and it stopped never went off again but today I took the clip it and plugged the sensor back in and boom alarm goes 3 times in an hour. Edit I'm not convinced it's the door though due to bridging the bonnet latch for like 8 months and had no alarm going off until I plugged it back in which to me screams bonnet latch.

    That screenshot from FORScan is not telling you that it is the Door that caused the Alarm it's the information screen for that PID, you need to select the relevant PID's from the BCM and press Play.

    Here are the instructions for Android  https://forscan.org/documentation_Android.html
