You might have to change yous css on the .ligplus and .lipintrest classes to better suit your needs.
Totally frustrated me too so I ended up adding an html block and my own social media logos with embedded links. I'm still in build mode for this site but you're welcome to take a look.
Personally I would have these loading on a ecom site. I would do a html page and just link to that page perhaps called social networks. Make that pages as fancy as you like to counters, faces even stats perhaps.
2 main reasons being 1) you want people thinking about your products not anything else when they view your pages 2) these links will have an overhang on your page loads and you are handing control of the page loading at to 3rd parties.

Yet pins and likes will get you ranking as well as customers to your website.

You are looking at it from the wrong way around. If customers are coming to your site from social media they are doing just that. So showing buttons for people to click on page on your site does not bring anyone. Your work should be done on on the social media sites.
But, I’m not saying don’t have the buttons somewhere on your site. I’m saying the is a trade off and loading these things will have an effect on page load and if there servers have issues could even stop you page loading. That’s why I suggest putting them on thigns like contact pages. Also why would you want to give a potential customer the chance to click away from a product you are trying to sell.
I have blogs setup to push content to social media even so social media traffic was only 14% to my site last week. On my non-ecom site it’s 63%
I don't agree at all. If you set them up correctly, these buttons don't take your customer away from your shop. All it does is create a like or pin, for example, on their SM pages. The customer stays on the product page.
If a customer likes a product from our shop, this shows up in their feed. Their friends see this and discover our shop.
Or a customer pins an image from our shop or blog. This pin is shared by 250 people, showing up all over pinterest. All these links give that product or page ranking, meaning people will find your shop easier in organic search… and so on.

All good in theory but it seldom happens and that was only the second reason I don't like putting them on the product page. But if it works for you who am I to argue.
It seldom happens? Hmm… I have products with over 20 likes on facebook, and some images with over 200 pins in pinterest. These bring visitors to my page all the time.
Also I never experience our page loading slower (the buttons appear when the rest has already been loaded).
I learnt a long time ago that traffic bursts from social networks is mostly bot related. To find the true value of any traffic from anywhere you need to count the number of orders not the amount of traffic. What I prefer to do it go out and find groups of people who fit my profile and then convert as many as I can to customers. I don't really need streams of people from countries not interested in what I'm selling.
is calling a directory called “providers”, which in turn seems to be calling individual templates for the various providers:
vkontakte.tpl
twitter.tpl
facebook.tpl
email.tpl
email_content.tpl
Looks like someone just needs to create
googleplus.tpl
and
pinterest.tpl
and this would be solved.
I'm not a programmer but presumably this could be done in a relatively short time.
CS-Cart should include Google+ and Pinterest social buttons in their next upgrade.

I am also facing the same problem after upgrading from 4.1.5 to 4.2.4, earlier the google plus and pinterest buttons use to come but now they are not displaying. I have even copied the googleplus.tpl and pinterest.tpl file as well .
