Default Changing Spark plugs

Gentlemen need Help! I’m working on replacing the spark plugs in my 16 2.7l EB. Having trouble getting number 3 back rear out and obviously back in. What’s the trick? I have loosened the loom up over the bank without success... any suggestions are most welcome! TIA

When I check/changed plugs on my 2015 I ended up pulling a coolant hose off to be able to get the socket on the plug. I layered a bunch of rags under the connection, pull the hose and immediately clamp the end of the hose with a long-nose vice grip, but not over-tight. You'll lose a few ounces of coolant. The stock spring clamp was a pain so I replaced it with a worm clamp to make it easier next time.

or maybe the 2016 is different?
