I’m trying to replace the battery door. I removed the 2 bottom screws and loosened the plate as in Steps 5 and 6. How do I remove the plate without breaking it?

The spring that holds the yellow tab over the battery is apparently broken/loose on my camera, and was wondering if there is a solution without replacing the camera or using an external battery charger?
