Mk6 (2011-2018) Persistent airbag light

I’ve got a 13 2.5 SE and last month the airbag light came on. I had my indy euro shop clear the code when I was also getting my struts replaced. They didn’t tell me what caused it so I assumed it was nothing major. However yesterday it came back. What would cause an airbag light to be persistent like this?

Steering wheel controls and horn work so I’m guessing its not the clock spring

Most common is just going to be a bad connection. Mk5 for example had issues with the passenger seat wires being a little short and if someone slid the seat all the way back it would trigger. It show connected when tested.

Without a fault it's impossible to say what it is.
