I think you have the rear one on the wrong side.
So much better than the stock ones, although tesla couldn't upsell the wheels if the standards looked this good.

I think I read somewhere that these are not made for left and right. Is that only for the cheap ones from say AliExpress?
I will check this afternoon and confirm, but from what I see they are really well made , on par with quality as Tesla one's . I felt like Tesla one's are a bit brittle than Aroham one I got from AliExpress

This could be useful
Is Tesla adding a powered frunk to their vehicles? App update suggests they might
Is Tesla adding a powered frunk to their vehicles? App update suggests they might
hopefully powered doors too - all required really for fsd if car has no passenger
Or just from qnbLast weekend I saw four different Model Ys in and around Canberra. All of them NSW plates though, so maybe some Sydneysiders were doing a range test
how about they just add a $20 rain sensor for proper wiper operation and abandon the stupid and poor functioning "Deep Rain" neural net thingy.....

Good news for those of us waiting for Performance version: Tesla cuts Model Y and Model 3 waiting times by 6 weeks in China
Wait for MYP has been halved for China, which I hope will translate to earlier deliveries for us!

How did you go with your wheel cap? Any luck removing and fixing as you were struggling (did read on FB page)?
No I cannot remove them , I just pulled as harder as I can but they are stuck , and I cracked one of the wheel , I made query with seller but not much response , so opened a dispute so I can return them . But even to return I am not sure how to take them off

Delivered and Lovin it!
Try heating them with a hair dryer. May qjust expand them enough to budge them.
Thanks but clips go into the gap of the alloy so if they expand they might be harder to remove right? And I just don't want this constant work incase of a puncture or tyre rotation.
I am not getting much response from seller , so I opened a dispute with AliExpress, let's see how it goes
I just want to know it's just this seller or all other wheelcaps from AliExpress are like that?
Catch 22. You want them tight to not fall off or rattle. But loose enough to take off reasonably simply
To be honest Tesla factory covers are exactly that , they are easy to take off and hard to fall. They are flexible so even incase if you apply force they just flex and come out. But Ali express one is hard plastic so excess force will break them

The other main question was if they were shipped in two directions, for LHS & RHS.
I presume they are cause your picture showed the rear facing in the opposite direction.
All webstore pics show identical wheels.
Try take hubs of when cooler. If you have some plastic packers you can gently hammer them in from the edge to pretension the outward pressure.
