Default Seats not lining up

So I took the seats out of my EG civic hatchback a few months ago, I'm just getting to putting them back in (both front Integra seats not that it really matters) but now only 3 bolts line up, the front inside bolt is prob. a few mm's off prob. half a bolt hole and i'm lost as to how to make it fit?

with the 2 fronts in both of the backs will not line up, my guess is that something on the rails are messed up, so i'm looking for new EG rails that are not as rusty (when I get a new shell that isn't a rust bucket either, well it will swap over)

They same seats going in that you took out? You aren't clear on that. Do not tighten all the bolts until they are all inserted and started in a few threads. If they came out then they have to go back in. If you have to, tilt the seat at different angles to assist you.

Grab a friend, it makes it 10x easier. Sometimes you have to bolt one or two bolts in and have the other person move it around while you get the other ones threaded. I think different style/year Integra seats make a difference too.. Because I have a pair in my VX and all four bolted in extremely easy but the Integra seats I had in my 93' DX and now my 94' CX did not bolt in easily at all. I had to grind away at a seat rail to even make it bolt three in. I'm actually about to just throw those seats on EG rails so they aren't so ghetto anymore.
