Arrow Drivers Seat Module Hanging Down On The Floor Is This Normal ? Needs Securing

I noticed the drivers seat module is not secured under the seat but is hanging down on the floor. Is this normal ? How can I secure the module in place ?

If you look you will notice the bracket is still on the seat, and it is easy to use 2 ty straps to mount the plastic module to it. Both of mine were hanging down when I bought the car, and since had to remove them anyway to repair the circuit boards, I reinstalled them with this method. Nice and secure and no one knows but me and you.

I have not had the module out but based on what I can see on alldata the control module is held in place by 2 securing nuts.

Someone mentioned they used Velcro straps to secure it.

The wrench nut size for the securing bolts is 10mm. You can buy a new backside panel for about $15 from the dealer to fix this properly but if velcro and tie straps are your thing feel free. Just be sure the wires can't get pinched or otherwise stressed during seat movement.
