2012 want to clean ref flue

My ref is shutting off during the night while on propane. Thought the first thing I should do is clean out the area where the flame is. I took off the main large cover that has three screws. There is a second smaller cover with one screw. I removed this screw and jiggled that cover around for quite a bit but it doesn't seem to want to come out. Didn't want to break anything so figured i would ask for help first.

Also when I went to put the larger cover with the three screws back on I notice that there isn't anything for the screws to grab on to. I didn't notice any clips or backing when I removed the screws. Little confused on how those screws were holding that cover.

That small cover is wedged stuffed interference jam fit with a sheet metal screw thrown in too IIRC.

Remove via jiggling and wiggling. Reverse procedure to install. Slight re-bend here and there might help.

And actually lifting the flue UP slightly if you can. Remembered that after replying. At least on mine.
