Default Center console does not latch. Pics inside

Does everything look normal? I think the latch is in good shape but it does not lock it slides back and forth side to side. I bought it this way and it has been bugging me. I unbolted the bucket and took the latch off in this pic so you can see both parts better, it bolts inside the console just fine.

are you kidding me? i payed $25 for the new latch from a website and they sent me one that was broke just like mine. I figured it was some part that was not the latch lid because the broken one they sent me was just like mine.

I stole the pic from an Ebay listing. The seller wants way too much... $35 for a used one! The link Ryan posted has them for half that. New.
Or you could visit the scrapyard...probably a $2 pick and pull thing.
