Mine is a Octavia IV (petrol electric) SEL estate 21 plate, unsure on month (second hand purchase) but should be first half of the year. I believe it's NX5 also.

Yes I agree they're annoying but not serious.

It was relatively easy to lift it up using plastic to lift & separate it.

I suspect in the lever, one of the microswitches is stuck, meaning the car knows what position it's in from the others that are triggered but is still hi lighting a problem.

I popped into a dealer today and the parts guy said the selector lever module comes fitted with the trim, (at a substantial cost as previously mentioned earlier in the thred). He did say he'd ask his technical department to get back to me if they know of a way of separating it. I Will let you know if I hear anything. Please let us know if you're able to separate out the module yourself 👍

I have the same exact issue.
Followed up with previous tips from the community, and faced this exact problem. Couldn't separate the silver module, which I suspect must be some computing device.

If anybody has any information on how to deal with this DIY I would highly appreciate it.
