Well, the whole suit was re-engineered for the sequel; about half the bolts on the original suit were actually used to hold the thing together so a lot of them disappeared or were replaced with latches on the second. I know that they're not as obvious as, say, the color switch, but I don't think that kind of attention to detail is optional at this price point.
Anyway, the biggest things would be the bolts on the back of the head, around the clavicle, and front & back of the upper arms: those all need to go along with the "spine strip". What needs to be added are new seam lines on the hips, ankles, and shoulders, along with raised rectangular clips behind the shoulder rings, under the arms, inside the thighs, next to each knee... there are 10 of those things missing on the black midsection alone. The tabs at the top of the pistons should have holes in them only for the first movie, yet here they are....
But to actually answer your question:
I think taking the bolts off of the shoulders and chest armor and adding the clips next to the rings and on the thighs would get most of the job done; at this scale you can only get so much right, and even at this state it's still more accurate than Hot Toys or Enterbay's efforts, so they're clearly on the right track!
