Default Performance Machine 3-button housing

Hello, while trying to remove the housing, I released the two Allen bolts shown in the upper left corner of the picture but it still won't move. Does anyone have experience with the type of housing? are there more bolts hiding in the other little holes marked "???"
It looks like something is still unopened because this thing doesn't spin or move.
Thanks.

Does Performance Machine have instructions on their website?
Maybe you can call them for info.

What's with the set screws in the upper left of that picture ?

Anything on the bottom of it recessed out of sight?

I contacted performance machine, they replied that the two upper Allen bolts (in the top left corner) are the only thing that is holding it.
I released them but it still won’t move..
I will try again, still have no idea why it won’t move...

Set screws you sometimes have back way out to work, good luck on this.

Back them out then tap the housing gently with a rubber hammer or the wood handle of one, see if it's just stuck.

Assuming this is the right side...
1) loosen the master cylinder screws...No, not the lid. The screws that hold it onto the handlebars.
2) Loosen the set screws that hold the grips on.
The switch housing should be loose by now. The only thing currently holding it there is it being "pinched" between the MC and grip.
