Playseat Challenge DD F1 assembly issue

I wanted to assembly the freshly bought Playseat but I'm having an issue. I watched 4 videos on youtube and checked the manual 10 times, but I cannot get the backseat to fit properly, assuming that the position is correct in the below picture:

The pins do not fit into holes:

The only way it fits is in the below position but from what I can see in manual, in pictures and in videos, this is not how it should look:

Am I doing something wrong or did I get a faulty unit? I also saw some people having missing two screws, the small ones. Seems I don't have them as well. I have 10 smaller screws and 2 bigger ones.

Just purchased F1 DD - brake extension rods incorrect from factory.

I'm just putting it together now and I think it's basically got two rods that I've had to seperate from the pedal plate that are factory created back to front, so the pedal tray literally can't be installed. I've attached a pic of the two rods - I've detached them from the tray.

If I could remove the retaining bolt off one end and turn it around, it would be fine, or if I could slide the end off the sliding part and turn it around, it would be fine, but I can't do either as they're not designed to be changed like that.

I've attached a picture of them as they have come off the pedal plate.

Any thoughts?

As as well as this I can't even register the product on the website - it says 'registered successfully' and then refuses to show that i've registered any products in the account. Very odd.

I'll use the support link given throughout this sub in a few other posts also.
