Default Trying to change Valve Cover gaskets on a V6... Need Help!

Guys im doing this as a favor and I never worked on a V6 before. I cant get to the last Valve Cover screw on the passenger side. Theres a metal braket there that gets in the way.

Any help or pointers ???

HEY IM YOUR MAN! lol.

Just pulled the motor on one after unsuccessful rocker swap, still ticked afterwards.

Take a piece of wood like 20 inches long, pretty thick
place it against bracket
hammer piece of wood
the bracket isnt that strong just get a nice strong hammer, wont even mess up bracket. Just beat it till you can get it out

I think I actually used the metal stick that goes to my cheapy jack
