Product: HP - 17-w151nr
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello, I have a HP Omen 17 Laptop (HP - 17-w151nr).  I am trying to figure out how to remove the six rubber screw covers to expose the screws to unscrew them and open my laptop to add a hard drive.  The difficulty that I am having is that the screw covers are flushed with the back of the laptop case and also tiny.  The screw covers are talked about on page 36 and diagrammed on page 37 in Laptop's Maintenance and Service Guide.  Is there a way to remove the screw covers without damaging them, like maybe using particular tool or method?  Or do I need to stab something pokie into the rubber screw covers and try to pull or dig them out (...not sure how big the rubber screw covers are going down within the case and how much digging out I would have to do)?  If I have to destroy screw covers to get to the screws, are there replacements sold by HP Store?
