Default Question on removing overhead cluster

Greetings, working on 2013 Cayenne diesel, I am in the process of installing a wireless backup camera with a mirror monitor and want to hide the transmitter and power connection above the overhead cluster. I am pulling power from the passenger fuse panel. Getting the wire up there was very easy. However, I have followed the direction at Alldata to remove the little trim and several clips but they say to rotate it down and lever it back. It won't really rotate down any further because of the cluster trim edge. Has any one figured how to drop it down? I mainly need it down so I can find a good ground up there. Thanks for any help.

In the '06 there are 2 screws under/behind the light assy, you have to remove the light assy to get to them, could it be the same way in the '13 ?

Don't know about the later cayennes but the earlier had 4 screws holding it up. You had to pry out the lights to get to the hidden two torx screws

Thanks for the input. I did remove the light cover and no screws. On closer examination of the Alldata diagram I did notice what looked like clips on either side towards the front of the console. Alldata makes no metion of depressing these. I used some plastic trim removers to depress the metal clips and the roof cluster came right off. I see some nice places to ground to on the roof and plenty of room to hide the wireless receiver for the mirror.
