Default Driver's Door Arm Rest Removal

I'm going to try to post a photo of my problem, I don't know if I'm allowed yet (need 10 posts).
This type of armrest is not what's shown in my FSM and it has a clip (feels like a plastic retainer) holding it in. My FSM shows a small armrest with only two screws, not this one. Anyone who can educate me on getting this off? Actually, what I'm replacing is the latch.

Unscrew the 2 main screws which it looks like you have, rotate upwards 90 degrees and pull out.

Not everyone likes it but considering 99% of the time I'm in 2WD, it's positioning is fine for me.
