Default New seats, how to remount passenger sensor?

So I had a shop install my seats. One thing I was concerned about was the "yaw?" sensor on the passenger side. I told the shop the typical solution was to remove it and mount it to the seat rail which they did. Problem is they did not completely remove the sensor mount. So my questions are the following:

1) Do I remove the entire mount in the picture below?
2) How to I re-attach the sensor? Do I just tap some new holes? (I plan on swapping seats for HPDE days.

Any advice would be appreciated.

My seat rails are MTI, they have holes drilled in them to mount the sensor. I found I had trim the studs slightly

Right I understand that but do I need to remove that entire metal bracket that is glued to the floor?

and when I install my stock seat, since the studs were cut by the shop any idea how I can remount the sensor to the floor?

Also interested to see pictures of how people re-mounted their yaw sensors. When I put in my seat I must not have mounted it correctly and since then haven't had: ABS, traction control, active handling, etc.

See this thread with pics from ktlocklear. It is also how I mounted mine.

When I put my passenger seat back in I just glued it back down to the floor and let it sit for a few days.
