Default Rear cup holder removal

Does anyone know how to remove the rear cup holder assembly from the armrest? I was cleaning the interior when I noticed that the cupholder cover was bent and wouldn't open properly. Upon further inspection, I can see an aluminum swivel pin on the left side but not on the right, which lends me to believe that it may have broken off or fallen out.

I'd like to remove the entire cupholder but can't seem to pry it off. Would anyone have insight on how I can remove it from the armrest?

The previous owner messed mine up so I ordered a replacement for about $80. Was a 2 minute swap; It’s only held on by two Philips-head screws covered by round rubber grommets. Open the cupholder and on the stationary part (armrest side) look for the two round bumps. They sit almost directly under the corners of your cover in your picture. Pry those up (I used a fingernail) then remove the screws. The whole unit can then be lifted off. Repeat in reverse with the new unit.

Part number 669900E020C0 for my car. Double check but it looks just like yours.
