Did I just buy a Counterfeit LP-E6NH?

Hi everyone, I'm from Brazil where camera equipment and accessories are double the normal price, so I was shopping around for new batteries and decided on buying from a well trusted site, but that started operating as a marketplace recently, so these batteries came from a third party.

What I noticed about them is that the plastic seems cheaper than my 3 original LP-E6, the fitting of the halves are bad, as is the fitting from that orange cover.

The holographic sticker also doesn't turn green and is off centered, although it features the "canon" and "genuine" words as you move them.

Both also feature the same serial number on the back "2021036A".

That information is helpful.  My holograms are as you described.  Single line of text, centered and evenly placed inside the recessed area on the battery. The ones on the box are similar.  One line of text.  A legitimate retailer should allow you to return them. Hopefully you can do that.
