Default 2016 trunk trim removal

Anyone know how to remove the chrome trunk trim? It seems to be held onto the trunk by white plastic fasteners but I have no idea how to get them off.

btw this is the part I'm talking about https://www.ebay.com/itm/13-17-LEXUS...-/253947193651


Looks like those white fasteners are used to keep the screw in place, searched through the forums and found that the tail lights need to be removed.

Got a bit further and saw that there's different plastic fasteners...I also tried to remove the plates on the license plate bulb area to see if there's anything to be unscrewed there, but I was afraid I was going to break them pulling them off.

Very stuck now...any help greatly appreciated.

You have to take out the trunk lid liner and also the tail lights on the trunk lid to remove that chrome trim
