Swapping driver's seat in 2010 civic

I'm putting in a replacement driver's seat in my 2010 civic. I ran into an issue underneath with the electrical connections. My current one has four plugs and the replacement one only has two. They said the replacement one is from a 2010. And it looks the same. Except for missing two of the connections. Thoughts on what I can do about it?

Model of Civic to which you are installing the seat? Do you know what model of Civic the new seat came from? The extra sensors might be SRS weight sensors.

See if you can remove the harness clips and wiring to transfer to the other seat and use your existing seat belt buckle.
