This is unnecessarily complicated and a danger to several connectors of your precious laptop: The hard drive bracket can be removed as soon as the RAM heat shield has been removed. No need to strain the CPU board connector.
When the hard drive bracket is out of the case, the cable can be disconnected safely from the hard drive.
The keyboard doesn't have to be disconnected either, it can just be put on the hand rest.
