Hi! Can I get a little bit of help with some measurements? I have the parts, but I don't have the template paper, so I have to work around it :D
I can deduce the size of the rectangle by looking at the cover panel that goes into the hole.
I can deduce the position of the whole based on the location of the screws in this pic:

But I cannot tell how low from the top edge of the console should the hole be. Can you please measure for me the distance between the top edge and the installed cover panel (both its corners, if not parallel to the edge)?

My question is, if I am not millimeter accurate, does it make any difference? Does the holder part get fixated inside the console somewhere or I have enough margin for error?
