Pics of interiors?

I seem to have an upward tilt in my center console (40/20/40) that for the life of me I can't imagine is there on purpose or by design.

I have stripped the seat cover off, all trim pieces and everything is bolted up the way it appears to have been designed. The flip down console moves from front to back all the way, yet it has this upward slant to it all the time. Drink holders won't hold a drink straight because they are tilted backwards.

Is this just my console? It's hard for me to imagine it was meant to be that way, but at the same time I can't see how it would be different. Anyone have pics from the side of their front seat with the 40/20/40?

I didn't think that was how it was designed. I have checked everything I can think of and it all seems to be working correctly. It rotates front to back easily and all the way (until it just about hits the stops) and still it sits upward.

From what I can tell, the backrest/console is held in place by two Torx bolts on each side. By design these can only go in at certain locations. I was thinking about removing two of them, rotating the thing forward and drilling two new holes. Then, I'd have to use bolts and nuts instead of the factory holes...I can't think of anything else to fix it and my OCD won't let me forget it.
