3rd row seat issues

Good day,
I was cleaning out my GLS yesterday when I realized that my passenger side third row seat wouldn't lay flat as compared to the drivers side one does. Here's a video that I hope helps. I've searched and dug around and there's nothing in there that's jamming it up or anything like that. Thoughts?

Thanks all!
Matthew

take the front panel off the underside of the seat and see what is stuck under it.
