The adjustable belt goes on the inside with the short one by the door on both seats.  And, yes, the belt by the door flops out.  I have just learned to hang on to it when undoing the belt and setting it down inside the car.  The door sills take a beating with that soft aluminum still material.

My rockers and lower quarter panels are all chipped up in front of the rear tires due to the PO probably driving with the seatbelt hanging out the closed door.  For that reason, I have reversed the belt's positions so that the buckle is closest to the door.  It is longer, and I lay it by my feet when I unlatch it.  My sons drive my car, and I cannot be certain that seatbelts are always worn.

Those fancy SD belts may end up with inverted ponies, if my strategy were followed.

Good Thought, thanks!
