Help! I need to disassemble the driver seat!

My lumbar support on my S has almost completely burnt out. I need to figure out how to remove the back panel of the front seat to gain access to the lumbar pressure motor and try and fix or replace it by installing an aftermarket motor. I have no clue on how to remove the seat backing without radically damaging it. I’ve had the seats out of the car before but never could figure out how to break them down.

Please throw me any constructive input on this, I have sciatic nerve pain and the lumbar motor helped me enjoy the car. Tesla quoted me close to $5,000 to replace the upper section of the seat which is out of the question for my 2017.
