So it appears to be a couple of issues. Thanks to @Ksjrb03 for the TSB on the drivers side. Seems like I can have the dealership do it in a snap given no parts need to be ordered. The passenger side feels like some adhesive is missing on the rear and front of the weather stripping. I'm sure they can to that at the same time.
Here is the front passenger weather stripping.
Here is the rear passenger weather stripping
Both cases seem like they stopped short on the adhesive. Could have the dealership handle it, but afraid they would goop adhesive out the sides, so I might just handle the weather stipping myself and let them handle adjusting the driver side....

That’s how the weather stripping is supposed to be, nothing wrong other than a shitty design lol. Your mid panel will have the same loose edges.So it appears to be a couple of issues.

There was a message sent to the ford dealers about this and there is a fix. Some (mine included) had this poorly lined-up panel problem. I had a leak in mine too. The dealership had me come in, made some adjustments, and it's fine now. Still loud as hell...
I have the exact same looking drivers side panel (sticking up in the middle). Also the entire passenger side doesnt line up right. Looks like I will have to let the dealer adjust.
You mentioned coming to TN.
When you come, meet me and I'll give you my soft top for it.
It's a beautiful 2023 with less wrinkly wavy windows. I think you would love it.

The center latch points are adjustable. You can take the t-panels off, pull header trim piece and loosen/adjust and reinstall. It is something you can do in your driveway. Unless you are allergic to a small amount of manual labor and have no common sense about ya, why take it in to the dealer and waste valuable breathing and mind decay? I would rather sit in my yard watching flies lust over fresh dog poop than sit for hours waiting hours on other idiots to figure simple shit out.

Doubtful we'll sit there. Our 21 Bronco can get us around for the day. Everything I do myself on the Broncos. This I would just as soon have the dealer do for free since it's a Ford mistake. It's by the theater so I'll just go on an afternoon date with the wife. They confirmed they can have it done in an hour and a half. Bronco service manager said they had to do the same on his Bronco and others.

Thanks to all that posted. I just had to go look at my 2 DR and took this close up of my DS panel. I then took it off and reinstalled it. no change. I'm hopeful that it'll settle in with time. The truck has yet to see temps above 35 since I brought it home 4 days ago. Aside from the height difference both panels seem well aligned. Is there a big cause for concern here?

Took mine into the dealership for a few issues, including this.
Before:
And after:
It's hard to tell if it's improved or not. On the short drive home maybe it was a little better. If there's still wind I may try and lower the inner/front driver side one?

My hardtop front panels sit a little higher in relation to the rear shell. And every other one I've seen is the same. I believe that is purposed design element for water flow and airflow during driving. It allows water to pass uninterrupted instead of being blocked by seal and shell or standing water on seal.Thanks to all that posted.
