Help with assembly of my chair, 1 problem

[Dylan lol]

Just got akracing max chair and having this issue putting the back onto the seat. On the right side of the seat there is this lever which you see in the pic, I accidently pressed it, and that metal bar in the pic will not stand up, so I can't place the back onto the seat to screw in. Any ideas of how to make the metal bar stand straight up again?

Should be able to just pull the lever up and move the thing back

when i pull the lever i can move the metal bar but it goes right back down to that position, i need it to stand straight so i can screw the back in

Ther should in theory be a point where it locks. Be kinda weird if the chair folded in half every time you got out of it.

 

Are you perhaps holding the lever open the entire time you are adjusting it?

Pull the lever enough to get the thing to move then let go of it and slide it around till it clicks.

^^Think of this like your car chair (if you have a car) you pull the backrest lever and the thing will go forward and while holding it you have to put weight on it to move it back, then release the lever and your seat will stay and lock into place.
