Cool removing the engine rear (main) cover 2012 350 slk

I'm stumped and I've looked all over the internet.I have to R&R a faulty intake camshaft position sensor. On the left side its under the intake manifold.
Has anyone done a video of how to remove the manifold? I removed the trim piece and two center screws. What is holding the rest of it on? Where
are the fasteners/hardware? I see vids about removing the manifold but they seem to skip over the main cover.
I would really appreciate some help.
Thanks

dawn on the apron in front of my hangar.

It never rains but it pours. This morning on youtube I found 2 recommendations and both showed how to remove the covers. One in particular is concise, detailed and even lists the tools required.



With my pylon racer.
