Looks like you didn't reinstall the drivers seat back lever. It is easy to install. Just put the "c" clip on the lever and then place the lever on the "bolt" on the side of the seat (where it was) and push hard and hit it with your fist and rubber mallet. It should pop back into place.
A friend of mine install aftermarket leather in her Stang and had the same issue.
