Default whats wrong with my headrests?

I just bought a 2000 firehawk and I'm in the process of fixing the things that are wrong. I can't figure out the headrests. I'd think that the plastic clips would sit flat on the back of the seat but as you can see they don't.
Does anyone have an idea what might be wrong or what I should check?

I noticed the same thing a while ago. I've taken apart the seat back and looked at it. They look like the curve in the trim should follow the curve of the seat, but it doesn't. There are plastic guides that fit into the metal sleeve molded into the seat cushion that only allow them to be installed one way.

It just seems like there is a lot of gap between the seat leather and plastic. I suspect that the seats are recovered so maybe there's something else messed up.
