Anyone else experience this alignment problem, know what causes it, or how to fix it?

Try taking both the backs off. I bet that the PS half came off the metal shaft connecting the 2 of em at the bottom and it should be a pretty easy job, jsut take the tops off and slide them back onto the metal shaft.

If you put a 1 inch lift the left side of the car it will make the seats even. Just kidding. Take the seat out and keep the mounting brackets. They are probably broke. Might want to consider a solid rear seat.

The problem is the left seat wasn't put onto the center hinge post properly. You can see from the picture that it is sticking out of the seat entirely at the bottom. You need to remove the bottom cushion, then you can get to the outer hinge nut holding the upper rear seat from below. Then lift it up and tip it out towards you. Then slip the center post into the hole in the bottom of the seat. Rotate the outer seat back back into place dropping the hinge bolt into the bracket and re-install the nut, then the lower cushion and your done. Good luck, Lon.
