SL65 rear bumper removal help...

So I'm trying to remove the rear bumper on my 2005 SL65 buy I'm admittedly having trouble locating the bolts inside of the trunk. I read that they were suppose to be under a vacuum reservoir or container on the driver's side but all I see is the DVD unit and the hydraulic pump underneath of that. Can someone please give me a hint?

look under the bumper and you can see where they are, you have to take the whole carpet out, look on the sides

This was one hell of a job compared to the front bumper. I loathe the thought of having to put it back together!
