The best thing to do is alternate from one to the other. Otherwise the buckle will be off center. Take your time and do it slowly. Remember there is also an adjustment on the OR buckle itself as well.

Hope you did great - otherwise I made a pretty detailed tutorial here for a while - you should be able to get it through the search function. If not, just PM me and I can send you the pics.

Yeah, it really is easy. It's literally just a case of cutting across the line that's already marked on the strap. As long as you alternate and go one at a time it's no big deal.
