Dogs and Backseat Seatbelt Sockets

In my GLC300, the backseat seatbelt buckle sockets stand firmly upright and seem quite uncomfortable for my dog to lay on (he's too big to lay between them). I've tried placing foam pieces over them, making cut-outs for the sockets, but can't secure them and even if I could, it would not be a great solution. I'd welcome any ideas. Thank you.

Can you use child securing point behind seat and have harness use that ? Bit like capsule anchor point.
Designed to act as safety point, not sure of load rating, if they even have one.
We use a car sling cover on back seat and they have holes in cover for seat belt connection, you might have to pad underneath with a blanket, or try using a seat belt extender ?
Good luck, let us know how you get on with this.

Thank you again for your ideas.
