Gotcha. And a couple comments about that spot / glazing putty:

It's solvent based and because of that, it shrinks a lot as the solvent evaporates. Thin coats only to build up a deeper wound. Also it will likely etch into the PVC that the center console is made out of. That PVC is low on the chemical resistance chart. And lastly, be aware that filler has no mechanical strength on it's own. Think of it as "spraying a whole bunch of coats of sandable primer". (If that makes sense.   )

I've found that JB weld sands OK with the correct low load paper.

That's why i ended up using black seam sealer from Eastwood (its strong and flexible) as the crease was relatively small. It looks decently flat and matches the color (no need to spray). I plan to put a felt liner inside to cover it.

Calling it a day. Seam sealer was good enough for some cosmetic adjustments. Felt is attached with double sided tape.

Nice work.

Ready to go in. Mono radio speaker connectors. Don’t have original antenna so plan to put a toggle switch hidden under dash. Wiring for the original antenna is there.
