How to remove tailgate chrome trim?

I have a 2023 Onyx tailgate trim that I purchased from @SubaruOnlineParts.com to replace the chrome one on my ’23 Limited. I removed this similar part on my old Outback, but ran into questions with this Ascent.

I can easily remove all the plastic interior trim that is exposed inside the door. I’m not sure what nut I need to remove from the inside of the door before I can remove the trim piece I want to remove. I’m pretty sure the chrome trim comes out as one piece with the body color trim just below the rear window.

I saw this post, but I’m not sure what I’m looking at in the first picture. Are those walnut red outer dots that hold the narrow inner tail reflectors? So there are only 3 more before I start pulling? I have a 2023 but I’m pretty sure all the mounting nuts and clamps should be in the same place. I just want to be careful.

Any tips? I thought this would be a really quick job, but I had to go back and forth looking for advice here. Thank you.
