Hood spray nozzle issue

I've noticed one of my wash spray doodads on my hood is not fully pushed in (lays at a angle, as if only one of two prongs is properly seated). What is the process for repairing that?

I'm under the impression it's "open hood, remove ton of screws, remove fire-protectant foam thingy (yes that's the technical term), and now I can finally fiddle with that spray doodad.

Standard OEM hood?

It's one screw for the nozzle, but the hood pad (which is there for noise) has a lot of christmas tree pushpins that you'll have to pull to get to the nozzle. You can do the lower set and a couple on the sides and bend the pad back, but it'll put a fold in the thing, so it's best to take it all the way off.

I'd get some of these:

Makes it easier, and less possible damage to paint. You can get the metal Lisle one if you wanna, but you'll wanna use something to cushion the pry point of the tool, like a sponge or such.
