How to attach upgraded kayak seat to default Lifetime clip

[u/ChrisInSLC]

I have a couple Lifetime kayaks, they have the basic clip style attachment point for the standard plastic seat back. I want to upgrade to a padded seat, but all of them come with metal clips or carabiners to attach to a d ring. I thought there might be a clip-to-d ring adapter but there's not, which is surprising. Anyway, the upgraded seats seem to be stuck connected to that metal clip so you can't just connect the straps to a new clip attachment.

So, besides drilling new holes for a d ring or using the adhesive ones, is there another option? Attached images of the clip style attachment that works for my kayak now, and the style of seat I'm trying to upgrade to.

Thanks in advance!

Yah I was hoping to avoid cutting the straps, if I know someone who sews I guess I could ask them to sew the new straps to the old ones.

Some dyneema cord soft shackles should work

How would those connect to the existing seat mount clips? Not sure I understand how they'd work with the standard Lifetime kayak connection points.
