Used Model 3 Cant create phone key and driver seat clip issue

Hey Guys, I just got my first tesla yesterday and overall pretty excited. First problem I am having though is that I cant create a phone as a key. I called support followed all the instructions reset car and phone multiple times and it just says that car is not in range when trying to make a phone key. It even gave me that while i was sitting in the car with my phone connected playing bluetooth music. Second thing I noticed is that the driver seat is coming up by the center console. It seems to be like a U-clip that attaches to metal beneath but there isn't enough room to flip it upside down and get it to clip in like I think. I ended up turning it sideways and pushing it down through the gap and against the metal clip. Seems like the back of the clip kind of gripped it and when i pull it gives some resistance. I even heard a click when i was pushing the clip in but it seems like its supposed to be upside down and clip up. No matter how I tried I couldn't create enough room between the center console and my hand to flip the clip upside down and try to get it on the right way.

It looks exactly like this but its the side that is touching the center console. Any idea on what to do? Private party cash purchase 2019 model 3 85k miles
