First of all, sea walls aren't mods. They just don't appear magically in place when you put them in the plugins.
You have to put them manually along your seashore/river to get the desired effect. Just so you know, you'll have to do some terraforming beforehand ( straightening the coast, levelling each tiles at the same high ) in order to get good looking walls.
Also to have a better result, know what sea walls to use in which area. For example you are not going to use industrial seawalls in a neighbourhood. But I think you already know that.

Then, as Robin said, with a picture it's easier to know what the problem is. Though I'm almost 100% sure it's what I said just up there.

Thx! I didn't Terraforming.. i'm not good at it.. it is possible to terraforming only one or 2 tile at a time? To make everything perfect...

Yes, use the mayor mode terraforming and the leveling or any other tool while tapping shift and a number from 1 to 9 on your keybord, the smaller your number, the smaller your tool and less tiles will be leveled, lifted of lowered. I recommend "shift + 3" to lift one tile in view 4 or 5. ;)

The same can be achieved in godmode, but with bigger results.

in addition; shift + F1 t/m F9 controls the strength of the tool tip.

I would like to know what the best Sea Wall in your opinion and why?

There is no best one,they're all good, just a matter of different taste and opinion. I make my own (sorry, not available yet).
