I have a question for the OP, are you an actual upholstery shop or are you essentially a reseller for products made by a company in Pakistan? Do you physically see and inspect the products in your shop before they go out, do you have any hand in making the covers, or do you take the order, send it to Pakistan, and it gets shipped directly to the customer? Nothing wrong with that model but I think it will help answer some questions for those members more accustomed to dealing with manufacturers directly who have the ability to make changes on the fly to suit customer expectations. This seems beyond your capability.

I received my shipment directly from Pakistan. I think OP is a customer service representative/salesman.
That would make this situation even worse tbh.
I’ve just started fitting mine I’ve done front and rear seats and will post pictures when finished
Exactly so
Agreed on that, as far as the pix on his site. But the ones shown by members here looked awesome.
Next time I'm in town I'll run by my Wife's office and take a pic of the L/C with the L/C Heaven seat covers. I guarantee you...they look fantastic.
Just got word tonight that the Mayor and Judge here in our little 'one dog' college town have issued a 'Stay at Home' order (all based on two cases of Covid19 in a county of 66,000). Sheeesh....
So I'll get pics when I can.
I started looking at threads with their covers in them today. They look very well done. They need to update their website pix to show a decent install or an install that has "settled down" after install.

Finally had the chance to take some pictures for those of you interested in Ridies seat covers.
The clips that came with the covers worked for me, didn’t have to use the ones off of the OEM cover. However, my installer had to sew some extra leather on the back of the front seats. I’m not sure why he had to do it as the back plastic panel would have covered it anyway but here are the pictures....

I have to mention that I specifically asked for wrinkles to match OEM. I’m happy with how the front seats turned out but the rear could be better. It also depends on the installer. I’m not happy with mine, I think I could have done a better job but it’s a lot of work.

A few things...
1) Your lumbar support is installed incorrectly (the installer likely didn't wrap the foam around one of the bottom rails).
2) The upper flap on the back is supposed to be attached to the lowest point on that cross rail. So again, done incorrectly. May not matter, but it may explain the "extra material required to be sewn on" or whatever.
3) It looks like you do not have the curtain airbags which may be a reason why the clips were not a problem.
What did you pay for the install?

Center console is not included with the seats. You have to pay an additional $49.95 for it.
Arm rests are included but they are too small. I’ll reach out to Ridies and see what my options are.

Was quoted $250-$300 but charged $400 for install and he broke seat back panel clips. So that’s another $50. He didn’t do a good job at all and hence didn’t recommend him to a fellow mud member.
I don’t have curtain airbags, so maybe that’s the reason the clips work.
Is it possible for you to take a picture of your seat back w/o the back panel? I’d like to see how #1 & #2 are.

Not without disassembling the seat substantially. Let me mark up your pics:
For one, the seatback (at the top) is supposed to connect to the lowest point of the support bar that runs laterally. Your installer connected it higher up, meaning the leather isn't as tight.
For two, the leather flap that's attached to the seatback spring is supposed to wrap around the underside of the seat, not inside. And now you have a hog ring hanging onto the metal spring, not a proper support bar. Weird / wrong.
For three, the lumbar support shoudl be flat against the seat back, not at an angle. It's angled because the foam isn't far down enough. The foam isn't far down enough because there's a round crossbar that it has to "slip" over on the bottom. I believe the black bar is visible underneath that clip. The foam and leather were supposed to wrap around it, not sit on top of it. If you can reach your hand in between the seat cushion and the seatback and feel the metal rod, then you know it's wrong.
