Civic SI Ep3 Front Seats and that 4th bolt

I have ep3 front seats in my em2 and as you may or may not know, only 3 of the 4 bolts bolt up. The fourth, I believe the outside rear bolt, does not. The bolt position on the recaro ep3 slider is higher than the bolt position on the frame of the car. This makes for a lot of squeeking when you are shifting weight in the seats during turns and cuts. Has anyone made a fix for this? I was thinking of making the bolt hole on the slider larger and further down but this would leave a thin thin piece of metal to hold the bolt that would prolly snap under pressure. Does anyone have a solution to this problem?
