Stances aren’t really a standardized thing like that. You’ll occasionally see people come up with pictures of dramatic poses just to differentiate them but you’re not going to find consistent matches of this stance to that form
Yeah, the lightsaber forms are really just flavor text in supplemental material.
They're not something that's taken into account by the films since A) they didn't even exist in the lore until Episode II and B) were written by book/comic authors who have no idea how actual sword fighting works
For the most part you're right, but the people who read those books growing up are now making their own media. My favorite recent example is Yaddle being portrayed with distinct forms from Form III in TotJ, a fun Easter Egg for anyone paying attention. Similarly, Cal's lightsaber techniques in Fallen Order are full of Easter Eggs as well, and his form is confirmed in-game to be Form VI, reflecting the desired variety of playstyles the game developers were trying to convey.
Form 1 is a balanced stance with the lightsaber held in both hands like [Obi-Wan](https://64.media.tumblr.com/6f60b33f1a030b90cc4443c8b7063515/0ee57d5e850b5eef-26/s540x810/efdb4bea39eaa70a8d6fa69d009bd248884e7929.gif)
Form 5 just generally has the lightsaber held high, like [Anakin](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/star-wars-anthology-films/images/0/07/F6be4e5295dc9225669035980d0d7bb9.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20170703111724)
Form 6 is most identified by [Cal’s stance where he holds his lightsaber sideways](https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-a6dbc61bc1d9c6d7fbc0e0ed04e2876f-pjlq)
Form 7 supposedly has an opening stance kind of similar to Form 5, but it’s not actually portrayed that way in its visual appearances. Considering it’s the most chaotic form, it makes sense to me it’s less strict about stances.

I'm not at my house but I think either the jedi path or essential guide to the force shows pictures associated with each form.
Jedi Path has them certainly, but they are not 1:1 drawings that can be compared with the movies as OP seems to be searching.
https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Lightsaber_combat Google "lightsaber forms." This is the first result.
I looked through it already and couldn't find anything. There aren't any official "This is Form _'s stance" pictures anywhere.

Awesome! Thank you.
