Got a low profile shower tray and it’s draining just not amazingly. Thinking there may be a clog. I’ve removed the top cover by screwing it off and I’ve been left with this. Does any of this remove for cleaning ? Nothing seems obvious
Trying to figure out what waste I’ve got on my shower

It will be designed to allow removal for cleaning. Can you lift out the central section?
The inner ring with the spokes on should unscrew either fully or a part turn allowing you to remove it for cleaning, alternatively you can use any of the drain busting unclogging fluids on the market which should help move the problem.
Centre section should lift out as said. You should then see the outgoing waste pipe, see what it looks like and try a suitable mechanical option for cleaning it out.
Please do not use Chemicals, they are usually not very effective, and then cause issues for the next poor sod that has to try and unblock the pipe. Mechanical methods every time, Drain Snake for DIYer, Picote or similar machine would be Pro's choice.

+1 for no chemicals
Another DIY option would be a power/pump plunger, had relatively good success with them if a snake does not get past an elbow.
