Question Seat hitting door

We have to temporarily do a 3 across in a Taurus. We have a HB TB, RF RA 50 and a GN in that order. We got all in with great installs, but that GN is wide, it touches the RA, and when I shut the door the arm rests moves slightly due to pushing on the door. Is that OK? Otherwise I could do a TB, RA and a HB TB. I am trying to avoid having to struggle buckling 2 seats in everytime. The GN is still harnessed. Note: the door is not hard to shut at all, I just see movement of the seat.

Personally I would not be comfortable with that. If it is moving the seat at all, it is putting stress on that seat, that could impact its integrity in a crash...

If I could feel any resistance of the door when shutting, I wouldn't do it, but it's not at all, I just can visually see the arm rest of the seat move when I shut and then open the door. The TB on the other side is fine, I am sure narrower than the GN.

Can they switch sides? My driver's side seems to be bigger than my passenger side when I have a seat installed in the center.
