Definitely have to remove the airbox to do it. Both parts, which means disconnecting the MAF line, which has one of those gray clips, which was also a pain.

There's no need to remove the MAF sensor unless you want to completely remove the airbox from the throttle body. You just have to work it a bit in order to get a good seal.
It's very hard to explain what that means but I will try...
The airbox has four things holding it closed:
2x Metal clips on the top side
2x plastic "teeth" that slot into holes on the bottom side.
The main issue is that the teeth might not be set all the way into the holes. As you can see from the photos, the tooth has two widths and the hole is in a T pattern. The risk is that you only get the tooth halfway in and only on the bottom part of the "T". You can close the airbox with the teeth half set like this, but the bottom half will be loose (if you apply pressure to the top of the airbox the bottom will wedge open a bit).
Just work to get the teeth all the way into the upper part of the "T" and everything will line up proper. Of course, that requires two hands and the air filter is not going to cooperate unless you take your time as it likes to pop out and slide around if you even look at it the wrong way.
