Question Difficulties belt installing britax pioneer in harness mode: 3rd row Honda odyssey

I had read the pioneer can be difficult to install correctly but I figured after 4 kids I would be ok. But I need some tips. I'm having trouble getting it tight. The front edge of the seat is pretty easy to wiggle forward. Should I use the recline function on the seat? It is more stable after I attach the top tether but I'd rather it be stable before that. I would love any advice. Or maybe this seat is just not a good fit for a 2017 odyssey harnessed in the third row with the belt?

I had a lot of problems as well. I ended up reclining it all the way and that was somewhat helpful. I also put a knee in to get it even tighter. The leather seats don't help the situation. I've toyed with the idea of getting rid of it bc my 6 yr old is now booster trained.

So, I tried the Britax Seat Protector under the Pioneer and it worked beautifully. It provided a lot of grip to counter act the slippery leather seats.
