Default Console won't close?

Got my 02 Convertible back from the mechanics today and they must have fooled with something cuz the console won't close? There is a flat plastic piece that seems frozen in the down position and won't let the hook piece in.

I'm proud of myself as I resisted my first inclination.... which is always brute force with a large tool and thought it best to ask you guys what to do first.

Somebody please respond quickly as I'm just sitting here looking at a screwdriver and thinking about heading out to the garage!

Well just chill and take it easy. The Console on my 04 is very cheap. The brackets that let it close and open are just about junk. I keep a light grade of oil on them so they wont break off! I love my vette but GM sure can cheap out on things.
Show it to the mechanic and ask what his advice is...
