In the trunk there is most likely a carpet like trim and its possible held on with push/pull trim tabs which you just pry off, once done then you can access the 3 nuts to remove to get the light assembly off.

I recently did this for mine. The carpet behind each tail light in the trunk comes away, and there are 3 bolts with attached rubber washers for each tail light. When those 3 bolts are removed, the entire tail light assembly is pulled away from the car to allow access. On the rear, there is a separate bulb holder for each bulb. The tail light assembly has been designed so that it is aligned as you install it, so the taillight should be straight when you are done.

Also, if you need to replace a tail light, you use this same process, you simply unplug all of the bulb holders, and you have the entire assembly removed and ready for the replacement.

As long as you move slowly and deliberately, you should not have any issues.
