Yeah the deep vents can be tricky. I had to fish a 10mm socket out of the dash vent on my old 2018 Ford F-150. Tied a decent sized neodymium magnet to some 20lb test braided fishing line for the extra strength. The key is to go slow and let the magnet wobble around until you feel it grab. Got it on the third drop and saved myself like two hours of dismantling the whole center console.
