its a spring clip, the plug is further in, i don't think you'll break anything, if anything the spring clip. did you duplicate the angle in the DIY. here is the quote from that step.

Then, with a flathead screwdriver, insert your screwdriver into the small slit on the backside of your wheel. You may need to feel around with your hands first to find this slit on each side. There is a spring clip on the inside that you need to press in. No need to push up or down, just push inward and that side of the airbag will pop out. Do the same on the other side. (Image 6 shows where the slits are located) The airbag module should pop out (Image 7)

hope that helps

if you want to swing by, we can take a look at it.
