Noticed the same thing with my driver's side seat headrest hole - the bottom edge some how worked its way out of the groove in the red plastic or it was not built properly. It's a minor defect, but still a defect. Not going to make a special trip to the dealer, but will point it out next time I'm there.

I dont have a scanner to show you the picture, and I'm not sure what the problem exactly is, but maybe this will help:

Looking at the Helms Service Manual, it shows that the red plastic headrest trim peices come apart into two pieces. The rear "cuff" goes around the front one and there are 7 plastic clips that snap them together.

It recommends using a flathead screwdriver wrapped in electrical tape from the front to press down the clips. Once those are removed there's actually a zipper in there for disconnencting the front and rear fabric!!

If it looks like they are separating, maybe have someone push the plastic cuff from the rear, while you push it from the front, it should snap back together.
