Oil pan bolts

Trying to drop the oil pan on my m50. Ive gotten every single bolt except the 2 behind the bellhousing between the transmission. Theyre pressed up against something and i cant get a socket to fit around them. I attached a crappy photo. If anyone has an idea or has had to deal with this before and can help me out. Thanks

It's not the recess, the flat of the head of the bolt is against the rust brown metal piece to the right of the photo. I'm trying to figure out which bolt that actually is. If you can't get a socket on it to loosen it, you couldn't get one on it to tighten it which makes me think something else has to come loose first?
