Another one of those "experts" at work here.

According to the FDR graphs, the #2 thrust lever was left at the position where it had been, and at the same angle where #1 thrust lever also was, until that was retarded. This is crystal clear in the graphs.

22.5 degrees is halfway of the total forward TL movement. But not halfway to CL, but halfway to TOGA. And at that position happens to be the CL detent.
