Looks like the strings' ends are pressing it up to the body. Maybe try taking off the strings?
Thanks for the suggestion. The bit with the strings in is separate.
Here's a Dropbox link to a video of me gingerly pulling the control plate around (which wouldn't upload to Lemmy, in the OP). https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/v7n74q9m252hxrc17f7eb/IMG_0808.mp4?rlkey=qau7d4zum0qswswwngkivenvc&dl=0
Does it maybe pull out sideways? Like if you turn the guitar so you're looking at the side and then pull it out like a book from a shelf?
Edit: Also what does the front look like? Are the pickups screwed into the same piece of plastic? Maybe the pickup screws go through the plastic into the body?
It’s all good now, thanks.
