removing hatch trim (inside)

While messing with the license plate lights, I lost the cord (with plug) to the right plate light (plugs into the right there) after leaving it unfinished for a day. It's inside *somewhere* and I can't seem to even locate it. Hours later I still can't figure it out and I suppose the only way to get at it now is remove the black trim from the inside. There is a screw on each side, #6 here, but I don't see anything obvious as to how to remove it thereafter... nothing comes out. Anyone have any idea or know where I can get a better reference?

For those who've done this replacement, if you can tell me where the right power cord drops from, that may help too. I only see a cord attached to the immediate left but that seems like it's for the tailgate open/close switch.

^ really appreciate it... do you think those clips (4) are slide-ins or push-ins? I assume the latter and we simply pull it outward?
