Thinking about the geometry, I'd be looking for a solution that involved sewing or maybe riveting to a plate slid through a slot in the leather.
You really need to find a solution that can be done without taking the seat cover off.

Obviously whatever goes behind the leather would need to have temporary "lashings" until properly secured!
Then finish it off by gluing the dark plastic cover plate on to hide all the fixings. Depending what is behind and how fixed you might need to cut some/all of the fixing lugs off the back first.
