Need Help on Rapide Tail Light Replacement

I am trying to replace the left hand side tail light in my 2010 Rapide and 2 of the 3 nuts are visible and the third appears to be under the trim next to the trunk opening. I have no idea how to remove this trim. There are the round metal clips which appear to hold up the trim, but I don't know if they pop out or screw out. In addition, it appears that the trim also goes under the aluminum plate for the trunk latch. This aluminum trim may also need to be removed and I have no idea how to remove it either. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you, Lloyd

I figured it out. Just had to pull back the carpet from the moulding around trunk opening and remove one screw next to moulding and was able to get carpet back far enough to access the bolt. There were no clips involved.
