Default Key Fob Shell Replacement

I got a new shell for the key fob for Christmas. It came with no instructions. I found several YouTube videos but the keys they are working on are different from the 992 key. In those they remove the actual key and there is a philips head screw underneath. My key does not have that screw.

Is there a video here or you YouTube that shows me how to do this?

Thanks.

You remove the valet key (?) and then you have access to pry the pieces apart.

In this Amazon link there is a video of how to replace the shell - there are NO screws

Yes...I found that video, but it isn't detailed enough for me to see what he is pressing and I can't find anything to depress to remove the side panel. A closeup of his key interior looks different from mine...the exterior looks exactly the same.
