Help with installing a new CD player

I've bought a 2001/2000 build K11 SE that came with the original tape player. So I bought the ISO harness and the radio adapter and I can install all that without too much drama.

However, the tape player has 2 brackets that are screwed onto the dashboard so it makes sense to take them off and use them to secure the new CD player. So I got one off, but I cannot get the other off. I've tried and tried and it won't budge.

Is there anywhere you can buy the brackets from? I've tried different search strings and just get the generic mounting kits. Or am I going to have to buy another tape player and hope the RH one comes off this time? IMG_20200823_185141_resize_57.jpg
 
I tried both, still completely stuck, sadly. Thank you for your help though.

The way I ended up solving it is making sure the CD player is in front of the console, not behind, using the plastic rim to stop it falling in the gap behind and a spare cage with the side tabs pulled out to wedge it in place. Not the prettiest of solutions but this is only a temporary fix until I get a better stereo in it.
