You have to pry the cover off the receiving buckle to expose the buckle lock. You can then see what it is that the tab is getting caught on. The cover is heald in by tabs and is hard not to mess up a little bit when removing. The other option is to get a Torx bit set or the proper Torx bit and remove that end of the seat belt and get another one from a salvage yard, that is what I would do.
