Tips on replacing the (electrical)ignition switch

Hi - The common issue (electrical) ignition switch on my 98 Boxster has gone kaputt. I have followed DIY instructions from Pedro and the other link below. I have managed to get the AC vent out of the way, unhooked the cable and loosened the left screw with great difficulty. The problem I have I can barely see the right screw , let alone try to loosen it. Looks like many members have done this fix themselves. Looking for tips on possibly what I doing wrong or additional steps in terms of parts that need to be taken out to complete the change.
