Gently press in the four retaining tabs along the top of the keyboard with a spudger, one at a time.
After the first tab is released, gently lift up on the keyboard so it doesn't lock again. Finish the other three tabs while gently lifting up on the keyboard. The keyboard will hinge up along the bottom.

If the connector on the motherboard is still attached and only the clip is broken you can try and find a new clip, or perhaps tape the keyboard in place with electrical tape.

I didn’t need to disconnect and remove the cable. I simply set the keyboard gently to the side. This gave me full access to the two RAM module slots for replacement. Hopefully this will make the procedure easier.
