Retrofitting seats

Hello!

I have a problem that causes me headache. I have retro swapped seats from 2005 E280cdi to my 2006 E280cdi. First as I swapped the seats srs-light popped, and it gave codes 9183 and 91A3, the problem was that the seats had the wrong seatbelt buckles. I bought new ones from another 2006 car, because I was stupid and sold my old seats before installing the new ones. The new buckles have 2 connectors and I have no idea where the other one (in the picture) goes. Where does it go and is it easier to buy new seats. I wouldn’t want to because these are perfect condition.

Sorry for my bad English skills, it’s not my native language.

I have WIS, but it shows older data with my cars vin. It doesn’t give me information about the newer seats.

usually anything with a yellow connector is for SRS airbag system. does the newer seat have a side impact airbag? maybe the older seats did not.
