Default regarding 3 center dash gauge lens removal

I was detailing my car inside and made the biggest mistake to spray a product on the dash. The stuff got behind the plastic lens of the 3 gauges leaving it greasy/foggy. I had so many issues goin on yesterday and this had to top it off. I was already trying to pop it out somehow with a blade and already did a tony microscopic little scratch on the side where I was trying to pop it out. I don't wanna do anything else until I know how to. All I found were Guides on how to remove all 3 center gauges ..not taking out the lens to clean it inside..can anyone please help me? Please don't flame me. I know u guys r very strict here on my350z and this is my first post. I have an 08' enthusiast, thank u

There's a procedure in the service manual section DI (Driver Information) for removal and disassembly of the triple meters. For the '07 service manual, it's on page DI-42. All three lenses are part of the front cover, which is held in place with two screws.

There's no way to remove an individual lens.

there are small screws on the back side, but the back of the tabs themselves are plastic welded in... you can carefully break that and re glue, but youre looking at a project.
