I'm far from any kind of a code expert, this will be like the almost blind leading the blind.

My understanding is if a feature is enabled that button will appear.

Leave out the Center and try putting your line immediately before the last line of the </script>

Hopefully it will have it right at the end of the buttons.

The worst that can happen is it doesn't work. Well it doesn't work now so give it a shot.

You could these templates

I didn't dig to deep but managed to get something just above the code buttons:

<td class="trow2" valign="top"><strong>{$lang->your_message}</strong><br />{$smilieinserter}</td>
<td class="trow2"> HERE
<textarea id="message" name="message" rows="20" cols="70" tabindex="2" >{$message}</textarea>

Not perfect but could help till you find a better way.
