Lower hole in the door jamb loosten allen screw until the cap comes off. Upper hole there is a #20 torx slightly down and inboard of the hole, you need a really long torx bit and pull the handle out slightly. It also helps to pull weatherstrip loose so you can see it.

I am trying to remove the L/H Rear outer Door Handle on a 2009 Renault Koleos Dynamic 2.5L

You have to remove the door panels and this takes special tools. Then you remove the window and then you can get to the door handle mounting bolts. It might just be the linkage to the latch from the handle.

How remove outer handle right rear door

This would involve most likely rolling window to the bottom as far as it will go and then opening door. Remove door panel and trim and use a flashlight to look for the fasteners holding this to the door. This should have 1-2 rods that are held in place by plastic locking pieces and clip to the outside of the rod and I side the whole in the handle.

The sliding door on the passenger side is stuck closed and will not unlock either manually or electonically. I have the panel off and the black plastic pulled down, but am unable to get the electical...

good day, well sir your so close from opening the doors. if you find the metal wiring that connects to the door lock then you have to force it a little to let loose. Its gonna be a little tight coz the electronic lock is still connected. if its too tight try removing the steel wires from the power lock connection then try letting the steel wires again. hope this helps and have a nice day.
