Update: FINALLY GOT IT OUT!

For those that are tackling this job what I would recommend is to put a jack on the transmission, remove the two bolts on the sides of the transmission mount and remove the subframe bolts and then slowly lower the transmission a few inches and you will have enough space to fit a 45° extended plier in that spot to remove the clamps and easily replaced that valve.

Also, I replaced the coolant level sensor that sits in the bottom of the coolant tank but still get the flashing red light in the dash. Any suggestions on how to fix that? And will be tackling the AOS next so if anyone has tips on that, I would appreciate it.

Thanks all for the help!
