The battery cover of my mx3 had 9 screws visibles. The last 2, the top and bottom middle screws, were hidden under a layer of paint and didn’t look like screws. Just push the screw driver in and break the paint layer. I would guess that this is the equivalent of a warranty seal, so if your phone is still under warranty think carefully before you do them.
