A bit late in entering this info and appreciate it's probably telling some people how to suck eggs, but..... did the task a few weeks ago now.....
So, if you electrically connect the centre vents (before trying to push them in) this allows you operate the control wheel which then moves the spigot in the dash, allowing you to correctly align the spigot/receptacle BEFORE pushing the centre vents fully home.
I think you have to kill the ignition once you've roughly aligned the two, as you have to operate the wheel again to either the fully open or closed position to physically get the vent into the dash, due to the cog protrusion (if that makes sense?)
