Replacing Spark Plugs

I am trying to change spark plugs on my F44. I got spark plugs 1, 3, and 4 (or is it 1, 2, and 4) swapped out without any issues. But I cannot get the coil on plug removed for the last spark plug. There is a wiring harness blocking access to the Torx E-8 bolt. I am looking for a suggesting how to remove the this bolt. Perhaps by removing the wiring harness - I just don't know how and I don't want to risk breaking anything. Links to two pictures of the top of the engine are here. I would appreciate any suggestions! Thank you.

Took me a moment, but I figured it out. I used a universal joint Torx E8 socket (barely fit).

Another option that I believe will work is a Torx E8 wrench. One like this:
