Right, that's what I'm referring to as the "intake plenum". Four torx bolts at the front, then pry the unit up and out from the back (where it clips to the airbox).

The clip you have circled is not the issue, it's where the rubber grommet attaches to the duct. Soak that in silicone and the grommet slides up and out, but the frame of the fan beneath that bumps into the part of the duct where the grommet attaches and getting that past is a bitch (honestly, in hindsight I wish I'd have nibbled some of that fan frame out with a dremel tool, would have made reassembly much easier).
