Default MMI screen cogs replaced..... no more horrible clicking noise now

I appreciate many of you will have already performed this fix and it's not the most difficult job, but........
After 2 or 3 months of the common broken cogs, I finally got round to replacing the cogs with brass ones.
Alas, it now operates exactly as it should - hurrah!
However, when reinstalling all the dash items, I hit 2 snags:
1. The cable to the connector of the coin box will not release enough to connect. I'm sure it will be much easier when the glovebox is removed, but, for now there's no illumination on it - which I can live with.
2. The centre air vents ......the electronic controller in the dash doesn't align with the mechanical controller on the actual vent. Somehow, the electrical controller needs to moved to a new position to allow the air vents to be pushed fully 'home', without damaging any parts.

Any ideas on item 2?
