Am I missing something here?
When you turn the steering wheel, there should be 2 screws you'll see to hold the steering column covers in place. But am I missing the screw covers (on both sides)? The screws are exposed..shouldn't there be 2 plastic tabs to cover the screws?

Good catch- very easy fix. But a very small swatch of textured black simulated leather found at any craft store (~$1.00). Using painters tape, tape off around the outside of the shape. Fill in that void over the screw to about 90% with clear silicone, then gently press your carefully cut out piece to cover the screw. Will take about 10 minutes and it will look great. There are even easier ways to correct this like using a small round piece of black plastic but the first method will yield an excellent result.

Why does "this" need correction? Sounds like it was "correct" as delivered from Toyota.
