The path to horizontal trim includes getting weight distributed so it is on top of your back (where the air cell lifts up) and not around your waist. When the air cell lifts the middle of you back, and your weight belt pull down around your hips, you tend to go head up and feet down.

Trim pockets help get that weight away from your hips and up towards the air cell.

A backplate does the same thing; it's sort of like a built in trim weight.
