Side Steps installation help

If this is in the wrong section please move to the correct one.

Hi.
I'm currently trying to install some side steps on my wife's 22 Ford Explorer ST. My issue is that there is plastic molding on the opposite side where the brackets for the steps bolt on to blocking the mounting holes on the side. I have searched for videos online for how to remove these, but people seem to omit them during their installation videos.
Now I know I can man handle them and force them off, but I would prefer to not break any plastic clips if I can avoid it. I figure the clips are behind or are these square blocks in the plastic molding.

I tried posting in reddit without any response.

Anyway any help would be appreciated, Thanks.
