sorry man, mine didnt slide like that (maybe my brackets are just uber stout or something)...spent 10min trying to get em too after someone mentioned it, then just tried the CC on the thick end trick to pop it up, worked like a charm...not sure what to tell you, but im definitely not 'completely wrong'. My method doesnt sound much different than yours, just popping up the one end, but mine didnt slide like that video shows at all.
