got all the spark plugs changed except for the 2 on passenger side under the heater hoses. Any tips on how to get to these last two ?

I had to start with one length extension and then actually pull them out with another.

There are some (plastic?) clamps that hold the hoses in place. Take them off to make the hoses easier to push out of the way.

either drop in the socket then a small extension with a flex or a wobble and then possibly another small extension (depending on your total length needed)
or buy the 10 or 15 dollar gearwrench spark plug tool. its a socket flex extension combo tool thats just the right length for working on the hemi

i have one and love it, got it on Amazon based on wild ones reccomendation. worth every penny!

As RZR stated unclip the wiring and move the hoses out of the way. I hate the passenger side way more then the drivers side when it comes to changing the plugs,but it's doable if you look things over closely and see how they're attached and then move them.
If you don't have this socket,it's well worth getting one,it makes doing the plugs alot nicer.
