Icon6 CTR rear seats do not fit: Need Advice

I did a search on this and I could not find a solution on this. I bought a set of EK9 rear seats that came off a 98 CTR:



The hooks on the bottom cushion do not line up with the hole in my 1997 Civic hatchback:



I was thinking of taking it to an upholstery shop in LA or OC in order to have them swap out the frame. But I wanted to see if anybody had done anything else or if there was a SoCal upholstery shop they could recommend.

Thanks,

Remove those brace brackets where the tabs slide into under there it should have the other slots. Try those.

From what I heard so far is that the part you definitely need to swap out is the frame from the upper backseat portion. I don't know about the bottom cushion.
