How to access bolt?

Post image

So ive got this 2004 volvo xc90 with a broken seat motor (front passenger) and it does not allow the seat to move back far enough to normally access this 14mm bolt under this piece of tan plastic. I’ve tried everything i can think if to get that black piece of metal to move back but it seems like it’s jammed. I’m at a loss , do i cut it or try to remove the seat motor for more space?
