Default How to take driver door panel off

I tried searching but can't read find a direct answer, I found 3 screws but still it's fitted tight..

The 3 screws were

1 bottom of door panel,
1 under wood grain trim
1 behind door handle blank plastic

What did I miss? I'm trying to pin point the door being very annoying while vibration to music, makes the car feel cheap with that noise.. I'm thinking somethings lose or at least need some insulation somewhere..

Thanks for the picture, they are blank caps on mine.

Got my chrome effect window switches and mirror control switch so can fit them now I know the last location.

I circled the two other spots where I got the screws but it's still feels bolted down to the door.. Is there any other hidden screws or special way to take the door off?

Total screws are four.
The last one hide under the rubber plate that's at the bottom of door handle.

Where is that particular one on the passenger side, where the handle is instead of the recess with the hidden screw?
