Tail Light Removal

Hi, I'm trying to install new tail lights on my car. I have the 3 bolts undone, but I still can't get the light off. In all the videos I've seen on youtube, it pops right off. What am I doing wrong?

Gotta pull harder. The last "tab" can only come off if you pull hard enough towards the top right of the taillight. Put your hand inside the car near where the top right of the taillight meets and feel for this weird bump. "This is where the tab is popped in and the only way to get it off is to pull hard enough.

I took a picture of my old taillights to show you the tab:
