The guide is wrong on step 7, there are 2 more hidden screws behind the plastic curved cover on top. If you get those out, you don’t have to apply force to open. With step 7 you brake the metal nuts out of their place.

I’m also not quite convinced about step 5 - the metal nuts are also broken out there, and I can’t seem to get them back in, leaving the case 1mm open round the top.

I too popped it open with force and found the 2 nuts pulled out of their sockets. I was able to remove the screws from the case, then re-insert the screws into the nuts and punch them (hard) back into the little socket holes. They stuck fast, and didn’t spin when I reassembled the remote.
