Interesting, not seen that before but I very much doubt it could
have been 'threaded' over the pins of a through-hole socket - so I
would guess it just has not got a full length bar underneath?
Most likely just small ears catching under each end of the socket -
have you tried simply gently pushing the end of the clip inwards or
using a small screwdriver to lever the bottom of the red clip
outwards?

Hi all,
I'm installing a NewScope LCD in a HP85662 and part of
the job requires a distribution PCB to be plugged into this
socket. Does anyone?know of a way to remove the red retainer
clip without damaging?or desoldering the socket ?
Regards
