Default Fuel/Hatch Release Module Rattle during music playing

I wasn't sure where to post this thread so you'll have to pardon me if this is not the correct place.

Okay, here's my issue, when I am playing musich with a lot of low frequencies, the fuel and hatch release module right above and aft of where the driver's side speaker is located starts to rattle and makes it sound like the speaker is busted but I know that's not the case.

When I hold the release module, the speaker no longer rattle. My question is this: I would like to remove the module and put some hot glue around it before reinsert it so it doesn't rattle anymore but haven't figured out how best to remove it? Has anyone have done this? Thanks.

It has two lock clips holding in place, slightly pry up on the front of the switch housing, you can then squirt some super-glue in the seam. Repeat the same for the other end.
