There is a knack !!! You need to position the automatic belt slider trim bit so it sits completely flat over the bits (seat belt bolt head) under the B panel so the outer trim panel can clip in.As I recollect, remove the rubber door trims around the B pillar area,need to get the bottom of the trim to clip into the top of the bottom panel.
They kind of lock together on an angle.
Last time I removed the whole top and bottom part of the panels,clipped them together,then re fitted the whole panel together.
The plastic "airbag" trim plug is a pain to remove and replace also.
