Coverking seat cover installation issue

hey guys so I ordered black and red neoprene coverking custom seat covers for my 2015 taco. The covers came in one piece though not two like the install video shows. There is some plate between where the seats meet so I can't put the clips on through the top and bottom. Anyone know how to remove this plate? This is what the site is telling me but I can't figure it out. My fingers don't pass through the middle something is blocking it. See the pictures in the boxes.

 

When I got my set or neoprene, I got one seat that had velcro and one with straps. On the drivers side, I didn't take out the spacer and just velcroed it real close. On the passanger's side, there wasn't a spacer, so used the straps on that one....I know, sounds confusing.

 

Ok I just went outside and figured it out. There was an elastic band with plastic clips that I had to remove to get my fingers through the seat. I am happy. The seats are in.
