Any info on this process would really help as I'm concerned about making an expecnsive mistake!

Thanks in advance.
You don't need to remove what circled in white, you need to drill out about 8 rivets, also I found its easer to remove light strip assembly and small decorative piece just next to the speaker together.
So basically you unscrew about 6 screws and undo about 8 rivets and assembly will come off.

Hope this helps

p.s. don't be too afraid if you drill out extra rivet, not huge deal, just don't go too hard drilling
