Did you have to release the ski sack pass through first? Don't recall if that is required. I think constant hard pressure versus "releasing" is required; might work better with two persons. Real chance of deforming the internal frame for the seat back...
Better yet, take a look at the right side near the battery, down low in the corner. I recall a pass through spot where the ?phone? wiring goes through; probably big enough for another battery cable. You can either lift up the corner of the seat back there, or it might be visible.
