Default Can't get the dashboard out!

Help! I am trying to replace the matrix and I can't get the dash out.

Have undone every bolt the manual says and that I can see. Still won't shift. It is stuck on the right hand side, think its right over to the right, next to where you can see this bar it is stuck. Tried to lever different bits out but can't shift it. The left comes out freely.

Also, in the manual it says to remove the fasica connectors (twist to unlock) and the airbag/seat belt tensioner plug. Can't find either! Where do you find these.

Excuse the shit photos. Was dark and my phone wouldn't focus!

What is the scuttle? Taken out everything, steering wheel, speedo clocks, centre console, heater unit, then undone the bolts in the engine bay securing the dash in, the one underneath the heater unit and the other one holding the metal bar in, then the ones each side in the corners of the dash.

Double check the "engine bay" there is always one I forget when I take them out.

I've triple checked that haha! I even took out the one from what looks like some heater unit right underneath the clocks as that was wobbling about.

So stuck

I've read through that thread and I'm pretty sure I've done everything, it just won't shift!

If I've removed everything, should I go with brute force? Just a bit worried as if I have missed something I don't wanna break it
