Gen2 Headlight switch removal

We all know that there is a HOW-TO thread to remove the headlight switch from a 2008-2012 EMT.
However, in-doing-so, I managed to screw-up two headlight switches in the salvage yard this weekend. I tried to press the tabs in and push it out. However I must have mangled the tabs in some non-visible way. Both seem to fit sloppy back in their original dashboards. I know there must be some kind of trick that I am missing. Those tabs are awfully difficult to press in to release.

I figured it out. You have to press in from the front to release the tension on the side clips. Then press them in the best that you can while pushing from behind and jiggling. It took me once on the first time today.
