How to mount cell holder on dash here

I have a cell phone mount that I would like to attach, at the location show in the photo below.

1. Can I safely mount it there? (Is it empty space behind this panel)

2. How would I gain access to place nuts and a cable behind this location? Does the top of the dash (pad) lift up? Any DIY guides on how to access this area?

I am registered just to reply to your post, I do think phone mount have to be custom and secure for safe driving. Anyway I always use pro clip USA or a-tach mount (please search for their website).
Not sure if link allowed or not

I've had the ProClip mount since we've owned the car. Have since upgraded the holder to accept a MagSafe charger and it's been great.

I decided to install my cell phone mount on the left side, but on the small popup dash panel as originally planned.

In case anyone is looking for inspiration, here's a photo of the installation. Note that mount is wireless charging, with the 12v cabled running through dash to cigarette lighter power (on with Acc/Run)
