If anything, just pop the plate out and slide it through the hole as one piece and don't remove it from the plate.

There's a blue locking tab in the connector that you have to slide back in order to unplug it.

It could be white - it was blue on the last one I looked at. Anyway, it's a piece of plastic that is inserted along the side of the connector next to the wires. You have to slide it out (away from the switch) in order to unlock the connector. This is different from most connectors that just have a locking tab you squeeze to release the connector.
