Post How to custom shell of the smart key ?

Please let me know, I'd like to customize by exchanging the outer shell of the electronic key.
However, I don't know how to remove the small left and right original parts (shown in Photo 1).
The head of the screw that secures this part is hidden under the button panel(for trunk open) on the Key top.
Therefore, this screw cannot be removed.
Please tell me how to approach the head of this bis.
I think these parts are screwed under the (trunk open) button panel, but I don't remove this button panel.
As shown in Photo 2,
The head of the screw is on the opposite side and cannot be seen.
I would like advice on how to remove it.

not sure how to either but would it be easier if you just use a case/cover instead?
If you want to proceed with disassembling the key, here is a video shared by someone on opening it up partially, hopefully it helps you figure out how to open the rest of it afterwards:

Thank you for providing information.
It will be helpful for understanding the image of work. If I know how to remove the trunk open button panel correctly, the problem will be clear, but if I try to remove it by force with just force, it seems that the button will be destroyed.
