How do I disconnect this ribbon cable?

I'm trying to add a 2nd SSD to my Acer Swift Edge 16 (SFA16-41). The 2nd slot is hidden under this ribbon cable. I'm not sure how to get it unplugged so that I can access the SSD slot. I've tried gently pulling on it, but I don't want to break anything.

Do i need to pull, lift, release something?

Thanks.

Jeff,

Normally the Gray/Beige piece of plastic that you circled in red pulls up, which releases the cable. Use a fingernail, or something plastic gently pull up on both ends of the gray plastic. It should rotate 90 degrees to release the cable.

Allen,

That did the trick! I knew it had to be something simple.

Thank you so much. New drive is installed and ready to load Linux.

Great. You provided perfect pictures.

Many times I've been taking things apart and said, it's gotta be easy, right?
