The way you do this is use a tiny flat head screw driver to pull out these white slider tabs from the big black connector. The connector comes out in steps (or feels like it comes out in steps), by that I mean you pull the white tabs out a bit and tug on the connector and repeat 3 times, pulling the white tabs out a bit further each time. The black male connector on the VVEL module has 4 studs that these white tabs lock onto.

Just for anyone having to remove the VVEL module, you dont have to use a tiny screw driver. On the connector itself is an orange lever that you have to pull. But before you can pull it, theres a little tab close to the top of the lever handle that needs to be pushed in to release the lever handle.

The 4 tabs described above catches on grooves of a plastic retainer thing that slides up and down along with the lever.
