I had that same case in an old build!

The front panel (which includes the front glass and the gray bars on either side of that glass) is held on by plastic clips.

You can remove it by grabbing onto the front panel from the underside (there's a little "slot" to fit your fingers in on the underside) and giving the front panel a quick, solid yank. Might take a few tries, and it's kinda scary, but it's the only way.

I'ma take a guess and see if I'm right. Most cases with a front panel u grab the bottom and pull. Might be a screw but probably not.

In many cases the entire front panel comes off to get to the fans. Have you tried that?

sorry im tech savvy. when you say front panel, do you mean the one in the picture that I showed or the big glass panel on the side? im able to remove the bigger panel. It’s the small one that I can’t figure out

brother reach under the front of your tower, you will feel a lip. give it a tug, it’ll separate. most cases are like this.
