2013 E550 Coupe Grille Removal

I know this has been asked a million times on here, but I can't seem to get the grille off of the car. Note, it does have distronic plus. I've removed the "shroud" and the 10mm screw. I skipped the hood release thing, because it was unnecessary. I pulled the the two catch hooks out of place on the top of each side of the grille. Now all that's left are the clips. There are lots of chrome clips, but I don't believe those are the ones I need to disengage. On the very bottom and sides of the grille, there are small, relatively hidden black clips. Based on a video I saw, I am supposed to push these down? If anyone could help, that'd be great.

Am I trying to release the chrome tab (red) or the small black hidden tabs (yellow)? I have tried the ones in yellow every direction and it’s not releasing anything.

Got it! Thanks for the help. Don’t be scared to force it off. Also, starting to pull on the passenger side is much easier.
