Question 450SL Center Console - Loose and Broken Frame

I have a 1980 450SL with a couple of center console issues I was hoping I may be able to get some help on. I think whoever had the car before had either messed with or replaced it because a) it is loose and b) whatever type of framework that holds the climate control unit and radio in place is broken.

1) Console is loose: Overall, the console is in tight and alright, but it is not lined up properly and does not sit up flush against the bottom of the dash. Are there any screws that can be tightened to hopefully pull it back and keep it in place?

2) Broken framework: The radio in the car is aftermarket, so I know people have been back there and been messing with stuff. The pieces of plastic (I think) that hold the radio unit and climate control unit in place are broken, so the components don't line up straight. Is there a way to replace that frame, or does anyone have any pictures or specs of what it should look like so I can try to make a new one?

Thanks!
