Question Where is the locking clip in a Diono Radian RXT?

Hi, I will need to install this seat in a car with ELR belts. The manual says that the locking clip is in storage at the back of the restraint. I'm not sure what I should be looking for, since the locking "clips" we use here are large plastic things that hang by a thread from the seat and not something that you attach separately to the belt as the manual indicates. Any ideas where exactly to look and what I should be looking for? It looks like a metal belt buckle or something? I'm really not sure...

It should be on the back of the seat. Here is a pic from google to show you what it looks like:

Diono Radian, isn't it? It is up at the top of the seat where the LATCH straps are stored.

Eta: it took me hours to respond because I say my phone down and started cleaning very sporadically after a child spilled something. Needed to do it.

It might be silver, but the same shape as featherhead posted. It slides into a little slot up near the top.

It's not unusual to have to put the locking clip inside the belt path on a Radian, and so long as it's still within 1" of the latch plate then that is completely fine. Make sure it's either all the way in or all the way out though, no teetering on the edge.
