I feel like it’s important to mention how deep some of these holes are. Your screwdriver might not reach. Mine sure didn’t.

I had to shove some tissue into the screwdriver bit holder to get it to reach

You don't have to remove just be careful

I tried to remove like at least 6 times but I wasn’t able to. Using tweezer, my nails, long nose pliers. There could be a lock but I gave up since I’m afraid if I put more force I might accidentally pull the wires. I’m able to remove the left and right analog stick with the back plate plugged, as mentioned, just be careful.

I was stuck on this step for a while - note that you’re only removing the little white plastic bit. The beige or yellowish plastic bit is attached to the board. I needed to use pliers to carefully grab just the white plastic bit and wiggle it side to side.
