Seat Belt Bar on R3 models

This bar that the passenger seatbelt slides on is loose. You can move it a bit unlike the driver side that is solid.
Taken to the delearship for the 3rd time and now I have to wait some more. Iam told that it is different on R3 models and they can't tighten the bolts anymore.

Can someone with an R3 do me a favour and see if this bar is loose or is it solid.

Thanks,
