Default Need To Replace Inner Tail Light

My daughter backed into a trailer hitch and cracked the inner passenger side tail light. I bought a good used one from Ebay and she's coming back from college next week to spend the Christmas holiday with us. I want to switch out the damaged one while she is here, but there is nothing on the internet (that I can find) besides people talking about replacing bulbs. One youtube video has a guy removing the entire trunk lid lining to replace the bulbs, but he seems to be destroying the clips. If this is what I have to do, I will probably also destroy them.

Are these the trunk liner clips?

Amazon Amazon

Also, has anyone done this job and have any tips to share?

They come out quite easy with a plastic pry tool (interior trim removal tool), they can be found for just a couple bucks. Totally reusable if you don’t rip them out like a Neanderthal. If I remember correctly it’s like three 10mm nuts to remove the inner light assembly. Very straightforward
