How to remove top dash trim on r56

So I was installing a new a pillar in the front and one of the plastic rivets fell down underneath the top dash trim. Ive been meaning to remove it anyways to dynamat the under bit of the trim since it rattles like crazy normally. I've removed what I feel are all the screws that hold it in place. The driver side feels like it wants to come out but the passenger side feels locked down. Ive removed the secret compartment and I feel like I got the screws that hold it down there. I also got the two screws behind the speedometer trim. Is there something I'm missing? I know there is a round piece closest to the windshield but im not sure if that vent has any hidden screws I need to remove. I mainly don't wanna tug hard on the trim and then set off the passenger air bag haha any pics or advice will help.

I cannot help with the location of any hidden screws, however, you should disconnect the battery negative cable to avoid any electrical surprises.
