Without seeing the attachment, I’ll venture a guess that he meant the air-con vent below the HDI

F-16 VISTA :Variable-stability In-flight Simulator Test Aircraft, Multi Axis Thrust Vectoring
The sidestick is over on the console, while the center stick is mounted on a short pedestal between the pilot’s knees. The upfront controller had to be remove to put the center stick in, but since the VISTA is a research plane and not a fighter, the loss was acceptable. Both sticks can be either force or motion sticks, with complete control of force gradients, shaping and range of motion.

The arrow points to a moveable air vent found on most F-16s as dumba said above.
The VISTA pit was this you can see the vent relocated above the center stick
