How to get access to fix the optical view finder lens?

Hello,
My optical view finder lens has become dislodged (It moves when I jiggle the camera).
I'm not sure how it happened, but I reckon someone dropped the camera.

The rest of the camera works fine (all buttons, screen, autofocus, etc...), I just have to use the screen to take pictures, and it is not very practical (super slow focusing).
Even though I am comfortable with following [guide|50558|this guide], I'd like to be sure it will give me access to the lens area, as opening up devices like these (even for professionals) involves some risks.
I can't quite tell what is accessible from the images.
Thanks for confirming this,
UPDATE: This is actually similar to the question @jlaurent asked here: [post|288064]
