I'm away from the car at the moment, but lift the seat backs up, they should then clip into place at the top sides, red warning flashes should now not be visible

Check that the 2 elastic band thingies are holding the 3 buckles pointing up towards the ceiling, probably just touching the bottom of the seat backs, maybe the elastic bit has been knocked and isn't pulling in the right direction. It might help to clip the 3 rear belts in place to hold the buckles upright.

Lower seat base, do the single one first (assuming split rear) as you'll be able to look at where the buckles are going, if that one works, lower the other.

Hopefully that has done it, if not I'll try and take a picture for you (it'll be Tuesday night), but I'm not sure if new members like me can upload them or PM them.
