Seat Belt problem #4

I own a 2005 Nissan Murano sl (VIN - jn8az08t25w318817 ) and due to recall number 06v048000, I took in my vehicle to have the gas tank shield and safety belt webbing installed to st charles Nissan inc, st peters, mo (Nissan dealer no. Scn). Upon my vehicle's return, I find there is no 2nd row lh seat belt clip for me to insert either the 2nd row lh seat belt or my child seat securing harness into. There were 3 clips prior to my taking the vehicle into the dealership - one for 2nd row rh, one in the middle and one for 2nd row lh. Now there are only 2 and I can see visible signs of the lh seat belt clip having being cut off from the seat. This prevents me from attaching my child seat for lh rear passenger to use a seat belt. I am not sure if this is the dealerships fault or Nissan's direction to the dealership to remove the seat belt clip, but as of right now there is no way I can use a child seat as there is no place to secure the harness on the left hand side.
