How do I remove the touchpad from the backing/bracket? The replacement touchpad I bought has none of the metal bracket, and I believe I need to remove it from my old broken one.

For the record I ended up having to purchase a new mounting bracket separately and affix it ($5). Hope this helps someone. I’ve done the repair but the trackpad is still not functioning. Not sure what the issue is but the swap was pretty easy.
