Bobby,
Right out of the Schroth installation instructions:

SHOULDER BELT ROUTING
􀂾 Shoulder belts must run from the shoulders horizontally or down, at no
more than a 20° angle.
􀂾 In cases where the shoulder belts must be routed down to the chassis
floor, support by a roll cage bar or harness guide at the appropriate
height is essential to establish the horizontal shoulder strap routing off
the shoulder/HANS®. Most racing seats are not designed and tested to
carry shoulder belt crash loads from downward installation. Severe
injury or death could result. A 45° downward shoulder belt installation is
possible with seats that SCHROTH has positively tested to take a load
measured during a 50 kph [31 mph] and 28 G impact. Refer to the list
of SCHROTH approved racing seats in section “Bolts, Seats and Stuff”.
WARNING: 45° downward shoulder belt installation must never be
used with HANS®.

You really, really need to change the anchor points.
