Default Creaking Noise from the rear seat area

I keep hearing this creaking noise coming from the rear passenger side seats whenever I drive my car. I'm not sure what this part is called but it is right next to the rear passenger airbag on the right side. If I apply pressure at the arrow, it stops the creaking noise. May be something is loose in there? I'm not sure how to fix this other than bringing it to the shop. It's 2010 accord coupe.

That is the C-pillar trim panel or pillar garnish.

One of the clips may not attached. There are several different type of clips holding on the panel. One type is a non-reusable type, which must be replaced when the panel is removed (see attached pic.).

Since there is the air bag in that area, the negative battery cable must be removed from the battery for at least 3 minutes prior to any work. A mallet is used to hit the area where the non-reusable clip is located to release that clip. The other clips pull out and are re-usable.
