Tailgate Lights I Have A 2002 Ford Explorer That I Am Having Trouble Removing The Third Brake Light Above The Tailgate.?

I have a 2002 Ford Explorer that I am having trouble removing the third brake light above the tailgate.? - tailgate lights

Can the third brake light is reached via the back door. I pulled the screws and tried every means to get out of the Assembly, but it hits the back door in every corner. Any proposal to remove without breaking the Assembly.
