so i got my sparkplug hole helicoiled, and of course the tang fell inside the head. i decieded to be smart and try to get it out with a neo dymineum magnet and it stuck to something. so now im trying to remove the head, and have followed the manual but now theres the bracket from the throttle body holding it from the top as well as the tappets as well.

what am i missing here?
