Default 2016 Dodge Caravan - removing upper intake manifold

hi Folks -

I am having trouble removing the upper intake manifold. The picture shows the part I can't figure out how to remove:

Pic 1: part I don't know how to remove

Pic 2 - yellow arrow shows the hidden bolt. Red shows a rubber/plastic fastener that I don't know how to remove

Pic 3: there are 2 of these fasteners behind the housing shown in pic 1

Pic 4

hi - I solved my problem. For anyone who's interested, the trick is removing the fastener you see marked with a red arrow in pic 2. Just pull out that round black "button" that you see in the middle of the fastener. I had to almost destroy mine to get it out but once it came out
it was easy to then pull straight up on the entire body (the part circled in pic 1). Both of the rear fasteners just let go when I did that.
hope my little issue helps someone else
