Also, as per FMG - we also need "voltage output(static and engine running)" at the alternator and the battery to confirm they are actually up to specs. Like batteries, alternators have been known to be bad right out of the box.

And did anyone check all the grounds as suggested previously?

Beat me to it whopper, but that's what the FSM has in the fault tree to check, voltage output and ground continuity.

They did check ground wire and that was fine. They are getting a new alternator today and putting it on to see if the first new one was bad.

The shop said with the first new alternator
It was running 14.2-14.4 when running and the battery light is not on. It's running 12 something when light is on. They have not put the second new alternator on yet.
