What is this seat belt notch for?

On my '23 Niro HEV, I discovered notches on the frame next to the rear seats that appear to be designed to insert the metal end of a seat belt. I searched the manual but found nothing. Anyone know what this is for? View attachment 8925
Well you learn something new everyday! My 2018 has these nachos too. Never noticed them before. So my day started buonus noches also. Down here in Fl. it's gonna be a hot tamale.
 
Bummer, on my 2022 PHEV I just have esthetically pleasing but unfunctional plastic clips that look like they should hold the belts but do a poor job.
Are you talking about the clips on the seat back or these holes on the plastic panel next to the seats? Actually I'm afraid to stick them all the way in because I don't see a button to release them incase they actually snap into something?
