Default Help needed quick

Just in process of fitting new age seats into my classic, just doing rear seats, I know to use the higher bolt holes in the rear but having real trouble with the middle bolt aligning the hole??
Help me please before I completely lose the plot
Lol

Not done this, but what's the problem? Is the centre bolt not through a wire loop like the other two? If it is, why won't it align?

No the centre bolt hole is on a metal bracket attached to the seat back, but the bolt hole sits 4-6mm below, I did poke a screw driver in the hole and worked it down but it took some force and then I couldn't pull out the screw driver and put the bolt through at the same time?
Just wondered if any1 had also had this and what they did about it?
Thanks for your answer regarding the door cards aswell, think I got stung a bit their as I did ask the seller if it was all a direct fit to classic, oh well eBay here we come lol

The rears will fit but its a real pain geting the holes lined up, keep plugging away fella your on the right lines, little tip use a long bolt, put it in the same as the screwdriver was when alligning, you should be able to lever it down with the ratchet on the head then wind it home
