Not to hijack but here is my hijack… does the 3 point belt strap remain over the hard carbon fiber shell? Mine slides off pretty regularly.
6’, 185 and I measured a Medium
I'm not sure I follow the question, but you wear the three point belt as you always would for everyday driving. The carbon plate of the Hybrid S goes in the back.
And to add to the size thread, 6'1", 170. I have a medium but wear it it is on the narrowest chest belt. A small would have worked but I wanted room in case wearing a bulkier jacket or driving suit.

Also not sure how your 3-point belt slides off. Almost less likely in 3-point than 6-point since the shoulder belt for the former should want to go towards your neck due to belt direction towards lap receiver. There is a raised flange on the left outside edge of the carbon shell that additionally helps secure the belt in place. You are placing the should belt in that valley, right? Or is your retractor spring faulty? Before my current harness system, I would do the "cinch-up" routine with my electric seat base (slide back, yank the belt down to engage the pendulum lock, then slide forward to squeeze me in place - takes a few iterations to get the routine right). If you did that, I cannot see how that shoulder belt could slip out/off.
I am 5'11 190 (42" chest) and I wear a medium which matches the chart. The race shop wanted to try out a small on me first. I also think the Simpson chart may be a little generous in its size naming to allow for clothing/suit thickness?
At any rate, glad to see you all have the Hybrid S. Wish more did.....

Are you wearing the shell over your head?
It needs to be on your back.
The 3 pts will fit perfectly into your Hybrid strap slots.
I have afeeling you are wearing it backwards or over your head. That shell should be between your back (shoulders to lower back) and your seat.
Good luck.....
