once you get the door panel off, it'll be obvious. Perhaps search for door panel removal.

yeah make sure you dont ruin the trim around it or the black curved piece behind the handle, those dont come with the replacement.

lol, if that was on the driver side, think what way you would have to pull the handle to open the driver door, it wouldnt make sense. its a passenger, they arent the same parts.
