Advice needed: how to seal the gap on a double sliding window while using a portable AC with a single hose?

has anyone handled this situation properly? I can't seem to find a good solution

  1. it's a double sliding window. so normally the air seal is locked when both sides of the window are close. bristles and a plastic flap interlock. since the AC kit is installed on my left side window. the Seal is not right anymore. so where the two windows meet, left and right .....there's now a gap that funnels air through it

since I live in a high rise. it's not just a little leak. there's pressurized air funneling through like a wind tunnel.

I need a proper way to limit that air. the other thing is I need to open my right side window daily. so It cant be something that is permeantly fixed like putting duck tape over the gap.
