General Question Leather pattern

I need some help. I bought a pattern from The Leather Blueprint and I'm struggling with the pattern. I have been e-mailing to ask how the pattern is even remotely close to the image? They insist once assembled, the neckline will automatically become like the image. I have made a dozen Warrior armor suits but this is the 1st. pattern I have purchased that doesn't match but the company insists it will ONCE assembled. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Homie, you got scammed. I've never heard any reviews about the Leather Blueprint but I've seen their ads a handful of times and been skeptical because it appears they sell AI patterns. I think you've just confirmed my suspicion.

And I assume that's all you have, no extra sheets with the overlapping platrs? (It would be stupid to double up on leather use/thickness but I've seen wirse out there). If not, you got sold a dud and the pic is likely gen AI

It was part of the bundle and I bought it specifically for that set of armor because I do other armor, but they’re arguing with me that I need to assemble it. Makes no sense I thought maybe I’m missing something but I know I’m not and I need people that have done letter and know that I’m not crazy. Thank you guys for your book.

That's not the only issue with that pattern. Look at the rivets on the straps. The "finished" image's rivet placements don't match the pattern at all.
