2008 T&C 3rd row folding seat - missing trim piece identification

The 3rd row seats fold into the floor. When they are in seating position, there is a piece of plastic that wraps around the front vertical leg, and when the seats are stowed, the plastic fills the gap where the leg retracts and becomes a part of the floor. My seats are missing one of those 4 trim pieces (2 per seat). Can that plastic trim be ordered separately, and what is the part #?

I can't get the interior trim page on the Mopar site for the 2008 Grand Caravan to open, so you may need to go to a dealer to get the part number. I had to replace the plastic trim on the bottom of the right side of the 2nd row driver's side folding seat of a 2010 T&C - it was ordered separately, so I can't imagine that they wouldn't have an individual piece of plastic ordered separately.

I was able to open the Mopar interior trim page by right clicking and opening to a separate tab. So it looks like the part is called a Shield, and for the 40% seat it is one of 1AM141D5AB or 1AM131D5AB or 1AM131K2AB or 1AM131DVAB or 1AM141DVAB. Presumably those are different color options?

So I now have part 1AM141D5AB. Is it the same part for left or right leg (viewed from the front), because the left leg shield is missing and this part is the same as the right side leg. It doesn't look like it will fit the left leg. Regardless, how is the part installed?

It doesn't easily clip on and I tried a bit of force but the plastic is bending and if I push harder, the plastic by the side loops is getting stressed and turning white, not good.
