[Healeys] BJ8 Center Console replacement

[Roger Grace]

I recently had the transmission tunnel off my car.
No problems removing the console and tunnel.
Now struggling (many hours so far) to get the console fitted again.
In particular to get the slotted bracket on top of the tunnel to line up
with the 2 lower screws on the console. Over 3/4in difference in height.
Looks like it should go in at an angle, but the heater box is in the way
and reluctant to use too much force.
Does the heater box really have to be completely  moved out of the way ?
Any ideas or techniques appreciated.
