Question How do I remove my GPU?

Hi, I'm trying to remove my GPU from my motherboard, a ROG Maximus Z690 Apex, which apparently have a switch for this:

I can't find my motherboard manuel, nor the PCIE switch, I found a black button, but that doesn't seem to do anything. Does anyone know where this button might be? Many thanks!

your manual:

"To release an expansion card using the PCIe Slot Q-Release: Slightly lift the expansion card with one hand and press the PCIe Slot Q-Release button with the other hand. This should release the expansion card so that you can remove it with ease. The illustration below is for reference only. The motherboard and PCIe Slot Q-Release button may differ between models, but the steps for using the PCIe Slot Q-Release remain the same."

EDIT:
On your motherboard I think only the upper PCIe slot has a Q-Release button. You can use the usual locking mechanism directly at the PCIe slot to release the card as well, if the q-release button doesn´t work right.
