Default I need a video I think

I'm trying to remove the lower inner dash panel on 2009 FLHX where the aux switch and spot switch are mounted. I already have the ignition **** removed and the left and right size screws that hold this lower dash in but it won't come off!

I've searched you tube and here and reread the service manual but I can't understand how this lower panel comes off.

I need to get it off to install a new light switch but I can't seem to figure it out. Anyone have any how to video links that I could look at? Thanks!

Gently pry two latches on bracket outward to release tabs on switch.

No good. Not budging. Seems the remainder of the ignition switch that sticks uo through the hole is holding it. I took the large ignition switch chrome handle out but about an inch of the neck still sticks the.ough the dash panel.
