You did get the premium plus package based on your list above: P3B- Premium Package with Adaptive Sport Seats Plus.
Red seat belts too?
heated seats. At their maximum they feel like i'd expect them to be on low.

Press and hold the Auto button to the right of the temp display. When the display reads MONO both zones are synched.

That's really weird about the heated seats. I drove my car yesterday up here in Toronto. I set the heat to full and soon lowered it to lowest because it was so warm. Odd because I'll bet it was colder here. BTW, the heated steering wheel is a blessing from heaven!

I can't figure out what the deal is with the seat or the wheel heating system. One day they will be perfectly adequate, the next day one or both will barely be noticeable. I have a cab (981BS) but the behavior is the same with the top up or down. Maybe I'll stick an ammeter in the fuse holder one of these days and see what's going on.

Amazing looking interior, and really nicely spec'd car! Congrats on the new car. I agree with many of the gripes about what "should be" included at this price point (keyless entry, back-up camera, etc.). I have the heated seats and steering wheel, and find that they work really well. In fact, I am scorched if I leave the heated seats on even two bars (forget about three). Maybe get that checked out at the dealer?

this leads me to believe that the intensity of seat heating or cooling may vary depending on the ambient temperature (either inside or outside the car), and not just at the stated limits. Might not be the first time a German auto maker over-engineered something!

I reached out to my service advisor this morning and he mentioned that there is a threshold temperature for the seat heaters, he would have to look up what that temp is.
I am in Southern California so it's not too surprising that I am probably above that threshold.

Just weighed the car today. It's 3,470lb - with a full tank of gas (and not including me!). Personally, I think that's pretty heavy. I think the PDK + 18 way seats + AWD + PDCC + sunroof are likely adding a lot to this total. Motor Trend said their drivers car of the year C4S was 3,401lb.
Still, it's ~400lb lighter than my previous GTR, but almost 500lb more than my well equipped Boster Spyder which I owned just before the 991.
