Recaro Vivo slightly angled to the outside

I just installed a Recaro Vivo for my daughter in my 997.1 C2S with Bose subwoofer box. I think the angled subwoofer port opening is causing the top corner edge of the seat back to pull into the corner - this causes my daughter to look over my wife's right shoulder when my daughter is seated properly in the seat. I have the bottom and back seat cushions removed. I'm going to reinstall the seat back to see if that corrects the issue. It may put the seat more upright and give up a few inches of leg room however. Has anyone here run into this issue with the Recaro Vivo and what was did you do to correct the issue? The porsche seat is an option if I can't get the Vivo to fit.

Mine do it as well. I attributed the slight angle to the tunnel. The vivo fits pretty well otherwise and I've seen a few other seats that don't fit as snug so I just let it go.

Seat back in

Same seat with the seat back left in seems to have everything facing the direction expected. My usual front seat passenger is a shortie, so it all works out.
