Default Upgrade from base to oem performance seats problem.

I upgraded my base seats in my ‘02 to oem performance seats. Now,drivers seat switches do not correlate to their function. Up is back, tilt is down etc. I was told the seats came out of a ‘99. Also told the modules might be year specific it has a different module number but I thought it is because they are lumbar. All of the seats I see for sale are not year specific but I do not see anyone having these issues. I wired the passenger seat with the correct connector and it works fine. Any input or help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks !!!
