Watch the video again and have a look when the airbag is off you will see where the springs are

To release the airbag you have to poke the screw driver on both sides of the steering wheel (I find 2'OClock position pointing about 20 degrees downwards is the best angle to release the spring clip)

Also poke towards the airbag - there's metal guids that should guide the scew driver towards the spring clips - push hard when you feel the spring tension.

On a slight downward angle is correct like Mark said .... both sides.
