Pulled glides all the way forward and see a torx screw at back of glide but can't access the other screw that attaches glide to freezer wall as it is blocked by the glide. Help! Noise is driving me crazy!!

Can't picture it in my head but don't recall having difficulty. If that doesn't help shoot a pic of it extended and closed and maybe it'll jog my memory. What's the noise? Fan hitting something?

If it slides forward or pivots, I don't know how to make that happen. Two pictures attached that I am hoping will help. Thank you! ottogaus attached the following image(s):

The attachment points seem to support that idea. There's only a fan in there. The evap shouldn't make any real noise. Possibly ice hitting the fan blades or a bad motor.
