Can't get the back cover off

crwdns2934249:0crwdne2934249:0:

I need to replace the battery in my Moto G 5G (2022). It looks like the pictures in the guide.

I'm trying to get the back cover off per the instructions. I've tried the plastic pry tool that came with the battery, some thin stainless steel pry tools I bought, and I've tried heating the cover joint area with a heat gun. I can't get a pry tool in. I'm pretty sure I'm prying in the right place. I'm chewing up the cover pretty bad, but just can't get a pry tool in.

I'm pretty experienced at taking things apart and fixing them, but this is getting real frustrating. Is there some trick I'm missing?

Thanks for any help or advice...
