Default Recaro vs arizen side mounts?

Hello,
I have a pair of recaro pole positions I want to install in my c6 Z06. I currently have sparco roadster 2's mounted to arizen sliders and arizen side mounts on the driver's side, and arizen side mounts for the passenger side mounted to the oem slider. Could I mount the pole position seats to the arizen sliders with the recaro side mounts on the driver's side, and mount with the recaro side mount to the oem slider on the passenger's side?

I had zero luck trying to mount Profi XL seats to any type of slider mount.

I used the Recaro side mounts but had mounts made to attach those to the floor.

You have to get the Recaro side mount plates then you can attach to the bottom to slide rails.

If you guys need that stuff

I have some like new Recaro aluminum mounting plates and the slides for the bottom that I am looking to sell.

Thanks for the offer but right now I'm trying to figure out if the recaros pole positions can mount to the arizen side mounts. If anybody else can confirm this please let me know!
