Yeah just take off the panel with the E brake and the shifter. You may see the screw staring right at you when you get it off...

And be careful with the clips that hold it in place. They don't seem too sturdy and might break off if you give them too much pressure.

thanks for the replies. the thing is that they fell while my console was off. rested the screws by the shifter and ended up knocking them inside the ebrake hole.

I hope that next time, you place your screws AWAY from dark, gaping holes! (please refrain from using sexual innuendo lol)
