GE Microwave Handle Replacement

I’m having trouble replacing the handle on my GE microwave. I’ve looked at what other people have done, (popping the inner plastic trim) and exposing the screws that hold the handle on. I’ve removed the screws but the handle won’t release. it looks like there are two sets of screws holding the handle on, (top and bottom) but I can only see two screws from the back.
Please advise

Thanks!!!

There are only two screws holding the door handle. Possible it got stuck to the door panel.

Here are the break down diagrams for the GE microwave Model JVM1660SB002
