The one with the bristan logo on ? This doesn’t come out as it’s the body of the shower

The outer plate will come off from the wall normally siliconed on but all you will see is pipes etc

In your very first picture the white spigots / rods either side of the valve these must be the flow controls so my guess is that you’ve not attached/ moved/ not aligned the opac guide that is picture 2905

The cartridge will just pull out might need to twist a bit but have the water off first eg stop tap

As for the controls eg why it’s dripping the left and right brass caps with the two holes in eg holding the valves in that stop the flow
 
Really annoying me now , Bristan sent wrong instructions multiple times ! only spent all day on this and still no luck....
turned water off outside but no luck cant budge / pull out cartridge
im assuming this is the replacement /what it looks like ? as is plastic

i am worried about pinching with spanner where thread lines are as will damage it if i need to put back in

if i pull it out how do i turn off water but have on in rest of house ? do i do something to these as you have stated

I know I did not assemble it properly in video I was just trying to work out why it wont turn off when it is properly assembled
 
This is yours

I see thanks , I asked bristan to come out but they said their engineers very booked up .... follow these wrong instructions ! 😡
dont know what on earth to do now
 
You won’t do it with a spanner sorry to say you will need grips something you can pinch down on the cartridge and wiggle and pull but the cartridge doesn’t have any effect on the dripping these are the top items either side eg my link ref 1 and 2 these stop it dripping / running from the shower head
 
not sure if a ratchet device would get it out but i think expenisve
but will it stop water flow if i get it out ?

No as that just adjusts the temperature

Tbh it looks like you will need to get a new shower fitted
