Console Top Plate Fasteners

These aren't PAL nuts - no "washer" part so they are installed "upside down" because the flat of the hollow nut then lays on the attached part. They are made to be installed that way. Sorry but I'm not taking my console out to take a picture...
Okay, Maybe I'm not understanding what you are talking about. What I displayed are palnuts. The hexagonal portion is made for a socket, otherwise it doesn't make sense to apply it upside down. Clearly I don't understand what you are describing. I have my console already apart and the palnuts were on the way I described.
