It seems to me that only one end will pop loose,  the end opposite the
knob- the knob end plastic encircles the knob and doesn't slip off-
The only way I can get at the screw is to bend the plastic handle back
from the screw side?

It looks like the manufacturing sequence went metal - plastic cover -
then the knob with fits into a expanding slip fitting?
