Is there a missing assumption check in the Linear Mixed Model anaylysis in the GAMLj3 module?

Hi, I was doing assumption checks for my analysis' in my thesis.
I couldn't figure it out this, could you help me:
Is there a way to handle these assumptions in this module (or in the jamovi):
1. Homogenity of variances (Homogenity of level-1 variances ?) (Equality of level-1 variances for each level-2 unit ?) -> For this, can I use the residuals-predicted scatterplot?
1.1. Is "Homogenity of variances" assumption meaning "Homogenity of level-1 variances" or "Equality (Homogenity) of level-1 variances"?
I have used Levene's test in the 'One-Way ANOVA' test and the result is p<.05. But in this, there are less missing values that deleted because I didn't delete missing values from the dataset, meaning GAMLj3 module deleted automatically missing values that came from variables that I included in the module. So variances are not equal. Is this a problem for the analysis or Levene's test is not related to the this assumption?
With residuals-predicted scatterplot, I can say level-1 variances are independent. Can I say level-1 variances are homogen? With residuals-predicted scatterplot by cluster variable, can I say "Equality (Homogenity) of level-1 variances for each level-2 unit are met because in each cluster variances are alike."?
2. Normality of level-2 residuals/errors
There is a save option for the residuals in the Options but there is no save option for the level-2 residuals (Am I wrong?). In this situation, how can I check this assumption?
3. Independence of each random effects -> For this, can I use the random effects correlations table in the result?
Thanks.
