I suspect you have "normal" belts which the industry terms "90 degree" belts, where the retratctor and upper mounts are in line. When you mount the retractor away from that line you need a different belt - I found that out when I went through the ordering process down here - my belts are positioned similarly to yours. An old mate was boss at a local seat belt company (Hemco) at the time and he explained that I needed "110 degree" belts to compensate for moving the retractor. I explained that I wanted the retractors inside the quarters (like yours) and he answered that they simply reverse them - like you have now done, and he set me up with the 100 degree belts - I now have them in all my Nomads.
I suggest you talk with the providers there and discuss with them about the 90 v 110 belts and see what they say.
