It seems that you forgot to exponentiate the concentration of mols, that is:

$$ k = \frac{[NO]^2[Br_2]}{[NOBr]^2} $$

Strange that the question lists NO as a solid. That would mean temperature below -164°C, at the same time NOBr boils at 15°C, so it would be solid as well. Doesn't make much sense.
