Decided to try adding some badges to my wife's 2021 High Country Tahoe, the HC and Z71 don't have rear badges but do have them on the front fender.
All the other trim levels have the badges on the rear but not the sides.

Decided to add the High Country "Mountain" badge and a 6.2L badge, not a fan of the de-badged look.

Ours came with the black badges already.

The back hatch is curved so you can't place flat badges too far to the sides or they will pop back up.

Does this look okay or tacky? I'm thinking about removing the line from under the mountain and lowering the mountain down and moving it out just a bit, thoughts?

Looks good to me. Symmetry with the 6.2 on other side helps

To each his own as they say. The very first thing I did when our ‘21 came home was have all the badges removed and I think it looks much better

For me missing badges is a sign of crash damage with a poor body shop repair or a Maaco paint job.
Buying used if badges are missing then no further inspection is needed, instant pass.

But what would you do if there were extra badges?

They look out of place to me. Id peel them off at the same time i was removing the dealer sticker.

But if you like it, rock em man!
