Default Seat Swap Issues

Having some problems swapping a pair of vaders into my ti. The passenger side went in beautifully, plugs matched up bolts were fine, good to go. The driver's side however, one rail seems to be moved forward about 1-2 inches. So only one side will line up at a time. So how do I adjust the rail back so that they are even? I can't seem to find any screws/bolts that would make sense, but nothing looks broken/bent/warped either.

Lax;

The rails will slide indepently when the Slide Adjustment lever is pulled up. Same thing happened during my vader swap a couple of months ago... I set the seat in the car with the RH rails in place, with those bolts only finger tight. Then pull the adjustment lever up and you can slide the LH seat rail so it lines up... From then on it should be plug and play...

Good Luck and enjoy those vaders!
