Door panel armrest won't come off

I am completely exhausted after 3h of trying to get it off with 0 progress. The armrest on the door panel is covering the last bolt so I can get the door panel off and I am supposed to stick a tool and push it out which doesn't work.
I tried on the passenger side and it worked. I did it 5x just to make sure it wasn't dumb luck, but then on the driver side with the same tool and 10+ other tools pretty much anything I found nothing worked.
Here is a video making it look very simple:
and then there is me for 3h who can't get it off with all force and every possible way. Please help I don't wanna end up breaking it which I will, because it is impossible to get it off.
