Here is a bad photo of what I mean. Thoughts? This is on the forward portion of the console; out of sight.

‘23 I5 SEL here and I have the same. It is in the same place and shape as the slider grab on the limited trim so I suspect it’s either the same trim piece that gets a hole cut out for the button in the limited trim or the underlying frame is the same and the indent just attaches to the same clips.

pg 286, ch.5-113, of the manual has the sliding armrest 'pic':

Sliding console
2C_SlidingArmrest

To slide the console (2)
forward/backward, pressing the handle
(1) and pull or push the console to the
desired position.
Check if the console box makes a ‘click’
sound, after moving the center console
box.
NOTICE
Use of excessive force to the console box
may damage the sliding rail or the control
lever.
