Thanks for the vid. Would've been great to see you do the other half, on the fuel pump side (I'm currently on that side). I managed to replace the back gaskets without having to completely remove the intake. You can just turn it to the side after removing all the bolts, sensors and air intake. Front side is a whole other ball game. I found a nice, agonizing bolt on the bottom left corner, by the engine oil fill. I'm on a 2019 3.3 Sorento. Almost the same.
Definitely, and as much as I would like to take videos of all the different repairs of the cars I work on it is a lot of hassle when I'm also trying to get the car back to the customer quickly. It's great to know that you can just turn it to the side, that is very useful!
Definitely triple check that the all the valve cover bolts are out! Then you can use a prybar or screwdriver to pry between the valve cover and the timing cover/cylinder head the best spot is between the two heads once you get one corner loose you can work your way around the rest of the cover.
