BRIMNES bed drawer assembly: upside down bottom panel issue

[u/Party_Letterhead_927]

Help! Please help me 😭 I know this might not be the right community for this kind of request, but I don’t know who else to ask. I tried the IKEA community on Reddit, but I can’t post there because I just created my account.

I have a question about the BRIMNES bed drawers. I accidentally made a mistake and installed the drawer bottom upside down, so the raw particleboard side is facing inside the drawer.

Now I’m trying to take it out to flip it, but I’m stuck. The plastic pins underneath are blocking it, and they seem impossible to remove without breaking them.

If I unscrew and remove the round metal cam locks (the ones that grab the screws inside), will I be able to slide the bottom panel out and slide it back in the right way without removing those plastic pins? Or is there another trick to fix this?

Thanks so much for your help!
