No, "facing the controls" is not in construction with "bidet"

If you are wearing pants, you may need to remove them (in order) to straddle the bidet facing the controls.

Syntactically, the whole underlined expression

I'm confused with the non-finite clause "facing the controls" in that sentence as I can't assign a subject to the verb "facing" there. Could "facing the controls" be viewed as a dangling modifier?
