Thanks, this helped me! I noted a few things:

1.some of the screws are a little hard to get out, I think because they have lock-tite, it acts as a retainer. They had to be pulled while also unscrewing.

2.I used the iFixit bladed halberd, to pry of the case without breaking the clips. I know it's not as common of a tool, but the ultra thing blade worked well to disengage the clips gently.

3. My single 16GB DIMM wasn't cutting it. All physical memory was exhausted by the time I booted and loaded one Office file. I added a 4GB PC4-2666MHZ I had lying around, and it worked. Mixing and matching isn't recommended, but it worked in my case. Hopefully now I have some breathing room for running apps. PC/Mac vendors should stop selling units with 16GB or less. It simply isn't enough for a modern Mac or Windows (but does work fine for Linux).
