yes, that is correct. if you flip it the other way, it will hit the seat when you try to move it.

you doing a recaro slider and wedge engineering bracket setup, right? if so, then that looks about right. I don't have clearence issues with the adjuster.

have you mounted the wedge bracket in the car yet? I'd do that and then mount the seat with the sliders already mounted on the seat. You'll see how everything goes together then.

Yeah, it's kinda confusing, and not having any type of installation instructions doesn't help.

Bolt the seat bottom to the car first, then mount the seat with slider on the lowest hole. Worked for me.

if you're talking about the outside front hole, yes I modified mine to get the seat to fit the bottom(top?) hole on the slider. I didn't cut the entire hole off though, just what needed to be removed so it would clear the floor pan which it was hitting. I figured I might want to use that hole someday and the more I left of it the better it would hold.
