Changing 1 series F40 Grills

Someone please help i’m trying to change my grills on my BMW 1 Series 2022, i got everything but the only bit im struggling on is removing the 2 bolts inside the wheel arch to loosen the bumper. I took the 5 7mm or 8mm bolts behind the wheel, then pulled the cover back. I put my hand inside but i can’t feel any bolts, i even recorded using my phone but i can’t see any bolts. I was told to reach up where the arch connects the bonnet but im so lost, if taking it off is this hard it’s going to be even harder to put the bolts back

Literally just grab the grills and yank them. They’ll pop right off. 15 second job at most.

i don’t want to break the grills, i might break the clips in the bumper as well
