Rear Chassis Bar Latch Issue
I recently purchase and installed a Carbon Fiber Rear Chassis Bar by Racing Dynamics. For reference, here is the link:

It is cake to install, and it works amazing! I can really feel the difference on my turns. The issue I am having is the striker brackets it comes with. I have tried adjusting multiple times, to no avail on the driver side rear seat. I have the passenger side where the latch grabs the striker and I have no play in the seat, not the case for the driver side. It used to have more play, a lot more, but it is severely lessened but I can still not get it have no play like the passenger side.
I am about to start bending the striker, but a,m reluctant too seeing that it should work since the one side does. I do not have any frame damage, car has never been in an accident that would do damage, co-worker backed into passenger door 3 days after I bought it, but only the door needed replacement. I think the issue is the bracket, since the striker is about 2-3mm in diameter and the OEM on is about 5-6mm in diameter. I have contacted Racing Dynamics about it, to no avail. I am going to try again, just seeing if any one else has had this issue before I start bending and twisting the striker in hopeful attempts to make it work.
Appreciate any help on the matter, or any ideas. Going to check on maybe the seat back being adjusted, but am really lazy for rear seat interior work as a first attempt. Seats worked perfectly with OEM strikers, so I do not think the seat is the issue.
Thank you
