Car seat suggestions (for 6 year old) for long seatbelt stalks in campervan

We bought a Britax Romer Kid fix pro but unfortunately the seatbelt stalks in our van are too long and are sitting too close to the green belt routing area in a way that is warned against in the fitting instructions.

I’ve seen the Axkid Up which looks like I could raise the seat high enough to avoid it at least until my child gets quite a lot taller. But it’s really expensive if we’ve made a mistake and it still doesn’t fit properly. I also looked at the Besafe flex fix 2 which doesn’t have the same sort of routing area as the Britax seat we currently have but suspect that the belt buckle might still end up in a bad position across the belt routing area.

We live miles from any fitting centre so I was hoping someone on here might have solved this in a campervan with a similar issue or has any thoughts on seats with a higher than usual base that might mean the area that the belt goes through is higher up that typical.
