You don't need to take the trim off. You try and move it by hand, if you can, the plastic either side should bend back to uncover the bolt heads. They are the star shape.

Loose plastic in the tailgate? Maybe the light clusters?

Got the exact same problem

Only started when I changed to coilovers, been reading loads
About seats not in place, rear lights, spare tyre

I have tried it all and now given up.

I'm changing to springs in the hope the noise will go away.
