Question 2023 Tail Light/Lamp Assembly Replacement?

Hi all, new to the forums here but this seems like the best place.

I am not very mechanically inclined but am hoping to replace a 2023 tail lamp assembly (this is the new LED lights they put on the 2023 models) after backing into a trash can and completely destroying the tail light.
eBay has one here for $500 (OUCH)

I wasn't sure if it was just the two bolds in the rear of the assembly that need to come out and then the whole unit should slide/lift out like shown here in step 2:

Or if there' a third bolt on the 2023's that require bumper removal?
I fear the bumper removal is above my skill set.

I was able to test a bit ago by loosening the 2 bolts shown from the link above but I couldn't get the tail light to budge. It's pretty mangled from the damage and hard to get a grip on, but If I know it'll come out I can push some more pressure on it, but I'm afraid of making it worse in fear of a third bolt there.
Another eBay listing here makes it look like that is indeed a third bolt on the bottom about half way around.

Any insight is appreciated.
