Question on seats/console

I recently bought a 1997 F250 HD Supercab. I believe it has Bronco bucket seats and center console in it. My only concern is that the front of the console is being held up with (2) 2X4's since it is up higher than the rear of console and the latch is all torn apart in the cup holder.
So I'm wondering if there is another seat option with console that will mount better? Is there a correct bracket for the console or is this a make as you go? And lastly does anyone have the schematics on how the latch goes back together? It's the one on the lid and it appears all the parts are here but I haven't come up with the right combo to get it together. Thanks.

Anyone have any idea how to put the latch together? It's the one on the door that you squeeze the sides to open

I'm supposed to have a parts catalog coming in tomorrow, if it has a good exploded view I'll share. Service manual was no help.

No good, sorry. It's listed as a complete unit everywhere.

Thanks for trying. I'm guessing the PO took this one apart and couldn't figure out how to get it back together.
