How to remove pots 2019 original standard

I’m looking at doing some rewiring involving replacing pots on a new 60s original LP Standard.

I removed the knobs, nuts, and pointers. I’m stuck now because I can’t seem to get the pots and the plate they’re attached to to come out of the guitar. I can push and pull but when the ends of the pot shaft are even with the top, they won’t go any farther.

None of the wiring seems to be getting pulled or in the way. I’m thinking that maybe there is another wire soldered to the other side of the plate, perhaps the string grounding wire.

Any advice?

I tried to add a photo via Dropbox, but it is just showing up as a small box,perhaps there’s a delay and it will show up
