Question Boulevard 65 install question

I installed dd's blvd in our 07 Corolla, ff'ing, using seatbelt install outboard passenger side. It is rock solid, but slightly leaning in towards the middle of the car. Dh doesn't even notice it, but I do. It's because of the cushioning at the end of the seat flaring up a bit. I need it pushed over as close to the door as possible to make room for a graco SS35 in the middle, and still have room for ds to sit behind the driver in seatbelt.

1 - is it safe for the seat to tilt ever so slightly?

2 - can I put some pool noodle or maybe an old towel on the other side to try and even it out?

Thanks!

1- Yep.
2- Nope. You can try pushing down hard on the high side while installing.

How old are all the kids? Weights?

Tilting is okay. Using anything to adjust a ft install is not allowed. So no pool noodles or towels.

Are both independently tight. Meaning install the sr35 tight, install the bv tight, uninstall the sr35, is the BC still tight?

Yes each seat is tight on its own (blvd, base only, base with seat). The base actually doesn't touch the boulevard, the bucket kind of goes right under the lip of the side of the blvd and touches it ever so slightly...

Ds is 82(ish) lbs, 51ish inches. Dd is 40-41lbs depending on what she has eaten lol and i have no idea of height... She is all legs, short torso fits in 3 and 4t shirts. Baby isn't here yet :)

I will try and push the blvd down a bit more when it's a little cooler out. Maybe I'll get dh to put his weight on that side for me :) But again, I am the only one who really notices it, it's that slight.

Thanks for the input everyone!!
