I might be a little high but IIRC they are the same plug but might have slightly different wiring. I mean, it looks the same in the pic. I know in the E90 they added a couple wires but used the same plug.

The connectors should be the same. BMW didn't change them. They might be facing opposite directions which is why they look different?

I just did and F82 seat retrofit to my F30 and coding aside ill tell you right now you need to look at both the LCI seat and pre LCI seat and make sure your pins are both in the same spots. Orange goes to orange, green goes to green and etc...

What will define pin position is the number of options on both the seats.

My recommendations if you'r not well versed with wiring is to find someone who can help you with the pin reconfiguration if needed. Honestly the photos you've posted up until now done help with your troubleshooting whatsoever.
