Default Removing dash to cluster

Alright y'all,
I'm trying to get to my cluster so I can change the color of it, but I've gotta get the dash off first. I got 4 or 5 pieces off but just stopped bc I'm scared to break something. Wondering if anyone has done this and could post pics, a video, or just shoot me some help. Much appreciated

Lol A for effort though. It's kinda similar but there's some differences I can't get past

I only came up with one previous thread on the forum and there was no reply from the OP whether the procedure was correct or not, but the response was that the dash is held by clips around the edges:

Wish I could help never had my cluster torn down

Diagrams from the dealer have helped me on other items I need to take apart though.

Had no luck with diagrams or anyone else doing this, I might just go for it and if I mess up I'll buy a carbon fiber dash kit. If it works, I'll post some help for those interested in giving it a shot. Wish me luck!
