How do you adjust seat back levers to make them work?

[offshores]

I have 2 65 Bug projects and it turns out I have front seats from I believe a 66 in one of them. My question is, how the heck do you adjust the seat back lever to work? Both seats seem to have all the parts in tact and nothing appears to be broken. When the release arm is moved the seat backs don't release. I can see that the lock that is on the same side as the release seems to move, but the one on the other side doesn't. Is there an adjustment to sync both of those together? I can release the seat back with the lever below it, but just not with the one with the white knob. Same for both seats. Thanks for any info.

When the lever is used in a up & forward motion, it activates a small cam that is roll pinned to the seat frame. The cam is also spring loaded. This cam should rotate and clear a locking pin on interior side of the seat frame.

Both seats are doing the same thing. When I use the white knob lever it only releases the locking pin on that side. The other side is the one that doesn't move or release. basically there's 2 "J" hooks that are connected to each other through this tube in the seat frame:

You can see them both in the top pic. If I hold both J hooks w/ my fingers and pivot the one on the right (extra white knob lever side) it moves about a half inch before the other one engages. If I move the left side they both move the same. I can't see where anything can be tightened to take that excessive play out when the right j hook is the one that has torque put on it first. It's like there's a clutch on that side.

Pretty sure I found the culprit. Crack in the tube...
