I did the same thing, Get your fingers under that center console and pull, there are 3 large clips holding in place

I was too scared to do it lol. I stuck my fingers in between the assembly and the headboard and carefully pulled it out and stuck it back in place. My fingers were all scratched and bloody after it, but I was happy to have everything back in order.
