2024 LC 1958 trim
I purchased these but they don’t fit. They’re all wrong. Was wondering if you all could post which tow hooks you purchased, and how they look? I’m specifically looking for orange ones but I’ll consider anything that looks nice. Thanks in advance.
ETA: I’d like to keep these so if you have suggestions for a bracket extension I’m all ears too.

Those are called "bow shackles" and are not intended to be used with the LC's OEM tow points. You would need to purchase or fabricate some very beefy tabs/points and replace the OEM tow points.

I use soft shackles on the OEM tow points. The benefits are no metal parts to break/fly off and possibly injure someone.
 
Yeah you wouldn't want to use a shackle like that on the OEM tow points. If you want to replace the tow point with something that stands out a bit more, but is still usable, there are a variety of after market recovery points like these:

Front Recovery Points

If you're wanting to hang shackles off the front off your bumper like you see a lot of jeepers doing you would first need a bumper with some integrated D ring mounts, like this DV8 one:

Screw pin bowed shackles, don’t know that brand but you don’t want to leave them out attached. Better to keep them clean in your recovery gear bag if you have one. Good quality certified ones like Vanbeest green pins or Crosby won’t let you down.
