Help needed with heater control valve

Hi guys first time poster here,

I bought a 2004 Porsche Boxster tiptronic. I replaced the water pump and thermostat and as soon as I went to add coolant into the system, it all leaked out on the right rear side near the wheel so then I removed the tire and it seems like the heater control valve has separated from the plastic flange. The space is so tight. I could barely get a set of pliers in there to remove the clamps has anyone done this job before that has some tips or tricks to make this job easier? I’ve already removed the triangle brace and cover, but there still is not much access. Is there anything else I should remove to get more space? There is not much information online regarding this, but what I found is, I may need to remove the muffler and lower the engine and transmission. Anyone have any experience with this and can provide detailed instructions?

Thanks in advance.
