Your seals are way too long, trim them shorter. The flap on the large piece is an extension of the upper seal’s profile. Where did you buy them?

Ahhhh. The penny drops. Yes, Seal are way too long. I got them from Stefan Ries. That said, better too long than too short. Thanks Chris, really appreciate the attention to detail.
Please make sure the muckets are of sponge rubber not dense rubber.
Those molded parts are called muckets. Originally they are made of sponge robber the ones in the photo are made of dense rubber. There is a good reason the molded muckets vs the extruded weatherstrips are included in the design. I also have upgraded to the same as shown however the mucket sponge is used where the door to body clearance is minimal and can compress to almost nominal. My experience is the as shown phots will increase the door close effort but nor effect sealing.
I have found the biggest issue is the plug at top of B pillar, they are now very hard
