I've been a little too busy to do anymore research, unfortunately.

I do appreciate your reply OP thanks for your info.
Seems like there are a couple cosmetic changes whether it’s tied to cost cutting or product positioning (for silver switches when one chooses galvanic control). I noticed my car comes with black with white stripes seat adjuster compared with silver ones also so it could be some new supplier thing.
I will ask my dealer as well and see if they have some parts laying around but glad to hear it can be done by just popping them off. Was thinking about changing and a voice in my head told me if I really want to deal with this small thing vs potentially introduce some rattles from removing trims pieces.
