You left out about 10 screws & assemblies that have to ALSO be removed to release the cover that surrounds the keyboard and track pad.
You have to remove the video cable, wifi cables and LCD before you try to remove the touchpad/upper cover. You must also remove two screws from the bottom labeled 10x. In other words, you should remove the parts I mentioned before attempting to complete steps 5 to 7.
The Fan must also be removed before removing the touchpad/upper cover.
