Default Passenger Side Coils

Im about to change the plugs on my 3.7L, driver side looks real simple since all 3 are visible with the 10mm bolts. Anyone have an idea what you have to take off in order to reach passenger side plugs? They look buried, just looking for insight if anyone's been in there yet. Any help's appreciated

Taking off the intake resonator (forward of the throttle body) and the large hose connected to the air filter cover helps. (You can leave the hose attached to the resonator.) You'll have to disconnect the electrical sensor mounted on the resonator. Other than that, just be careful around the A/C hoses running on top of the engine.

Upon taking those off, not much is visible.

The coils on driver side are mounted directly on top.

On the passenger side, I see a few wires entering the block, but not square coils with the 10mm bolts as on driver side. Any visual help is appreciated

I was able to see all six of mine on my 3.7L without any issues. I dont haev the OEM air intake hose and hat tho. But with those removed you should see all Six with the Coil Packs on them right away. Dont need to remove anything else.
I removed the Coils off all Six but couldnt get my plugs to move, So I had a shop install them when I had my oil done.
