OK so you have got to the stage where you have to remove the screws - called Zeuse clips. These aren't screws as such as they only "unscrew" half a turn, not multiple turns.
Have you got an old screwdriver - there is one in the toolkit in the frunk (front trunk) which you can slip into the Zeuse clip ring to loosen it the half turn. Once all clips are loose you should be able to lift off the lid - careful not to drop it on the paintwork.
A note of warning - if you find the power steering fluid low, you must use the correct Pentosin fluid type CHF 202 or equivalent - don't use just any old fluid.
Sounds like the car also needs the air filter checked while you have the metal engine lid off ....
