This study centers on the exploration of specific deformations applied to almost contact metric manifolds, preserving the intrinsic structure of C12-manifolds. Subsequently, our investigation delves into the realm of Ricci solitons within the context of C12-manifolds subjected to such deformations. A detailed analysis is undertaken to understand the behavior of Ricci solitons, particularly when the potential vector field exhibits pointwise collinearity with the Reeb vector field or is orthogonal to it.
