Stock Intercooler Removal

I'm trying to remove the stock intercooler on my 2019 F56 S and I have all the screws removed and the slide click locks underneath removed. The intercooler just wont come out of the slot with the removed slide click locks with the rubber holders for it. I've lifted the radiator and tried wiggling and pushing up and pulling up but it doesn't seem to budge. Also have the pipes off the intercooler as well. Any tips? Anybody else run into this little snag? TIA!

I did do those. I did also manage to get it out after a few stiff pushes from underneath. Seemed like the rubber grommets were just holding onto it for dear life haha thank you though!
