C238 replaced seatbelt not retracting as much

I've just replaced my c238 driver side seatbelt and have noticed that it doesn't retract as much as my other one? There seems to be a bit of belt left on the floor and doesn't fully retract back. Is there some calibration that i need to do or a step i've missed?

car is an e class coupe 2019.

I had that issue, and it was so bad that it would impede getting out of the car. I filed a complaint to the service advisor during service, where they checked and said it was operating "as designed".
I went home, and cleaned the seat belt thoroughly with warm water, dried it and now it is operating smooth as ever!

Mine has done the same since I bought it. By the time I get back to the car it has always finished retracting but it's crazy how slow it is. Will try the cleaning idea but would love to hear if there's some other fix.
