Help with removing motherboard and PSU from Acer Nitro 50 N50-600-EB11?

I'm wanting to move my internals of my nitro 50 to a new PC case to allow for more upgrade and wiggle room. I began to remove the components today and everything went swimmingly until it came time to remove the motherboard and power supply. I unscrewed the motherboard and removed the CPU cooler fan. There were no more visible screws in the motherboard but it wouldn't budge. Didnt wanna use to much force for fear of damaging the board. It felt like the motherboard was still fixed to something behind it near the middle of the board. As you probably know, the nitro 50 only has one easily removable side panel, so I couldn't get access to the rear of the board. I unscrewed the Power supply as well but I couldn't get that out either. I've spent a decent sum of money on a new case and some upgrades and this is very frustrating! Please help!

    Good evening capelucid !

    As for the PSU, just remove the screws and peel off the inside by sliding inwards.



    As for MOBO, just unscrew these points:

    I was searching for an answer to this and found this forum. How do I remove the sdd slot that's behind the HDD slots?
