Have you removed the false floor of the large (lower) center compartment?
If not, that is your problem!
The grey 'fuzzy' finish base of the large compartment is a sheet of metal which can be removed by carefully inserting a fine bladed screwdriver under one of the edges & lifting (it is simply held in place by gravity and a sung fit!) Once out, you will see 4 (I think) screws holding the centre console in place.
Hope this helps!

It's the Honda NSX."
