Anyone have a trick for removing the third hard to reach alternator bolt? I have a 2017 Tacoma TRD sport and this bolt is in a very hard to reach spot. Any help is much appreciated!

I’ve watched videos and searched but everything I find only mentions two bolts. Is 2017 a weird year? I definitely have a third bolt behind the front bottom bolt attached from the back side.

I’ve attached a photo. Bolt is not visible but I’ve marked the location.
