Take the Back Cover off Switch 10?

I got a totally sic deal on a Switch 10 SW5-011 (no keyboard) in mint condition on Ebay (for the woman "in charge").  It was on bid during Easter weekend and only 6 bidders.  I sniped at the last 20 seconds and got it for 81 bones.  Works and looks like new.  The only issue is somehow the magnet near the right bottom hinge seems to have gotten flipped or reversed.  It won't magnetically attach and I tested it with an external magnet and it's reversed.  The mag is there and the external magnet attaches but I have to flip the external magnet opposite side from the side that attaches to the left bottom of the screen.  Not a huge deal as the left is tight.  I'm figuring I could pop the back off and see about flipping the mag on the right side bottom of the screen. 

 

Sooooo, is this just a matter of prying off the back cover carefully or is there a certain way it's done?  I thought I'd check before attempting this.  It would probably be easier to flip the magnet on the keyboard hinge, so that's an alternative.

    Well, apparently the keyboards for the older Switch 10 SW5-011 and the SW5-012 are different.  At least the magnet placements are.  I took my newer Switch 10 keyboard back plastic cover strip off and reversed the right side magnet and now both sides magnetically attach properly.
