None of the two issues is possible.

Indeed, the "unique solution property" (sometimes called "Cramer") of a system $AX=B$ is attached to the matrix of the system (see remark), i.e., only to coefficients on the LHS. The composition of the RHS doesn't matter.

Remark: this condition is $\det(A) \neq 0$.
