Seats to narrow for Cosco 24 latch system?

[Kevin-rf]

So we are preparing to bring home a newborn and ran into an issue with the the latch system (Costco light-n-comfy 24).

It appears the webbing is about an inch to long to securely anchor the base using the latch system. Notice I can get a full hand between the harness and the base.

If a put a full twist in the webbing, I can get the base secure. (yes any rock climber will tell you that you have reduced your webbing strength by half).

Since the latch system is more secure than using a seatbelt, looking for some thoughts and safe suggestions. Poolnoodle, folded towel, tweeting lord Elon to install latches on top of the glass roof...

Since I don't seem to be doing well getting this attached to the original post. Pic of it "secure" with a full twist in the webbing.

(Do we only get one edit per post?)
