After some research and trial and error, here’s what I’ve come up with. For my case it turns out you don’t necessarily need to do anything re the database directly. I used two functions.

1

function move_wysiwyg_editor() {
  global $post;
  global $wp_meta_boxes;
  do_meta_boxes(get_current_screen(), 'normal', $post);
  unset($wp_meta_boxes[get_post_type($post)]['normal']);
}
add_action('edit_form_after_title', 'move_wysiwyg_editor');

2

function remove_plugin_metaboxes() {
  remove_meta_box('id_of_metabox_from_plugin', 'request_form', 'advanced');
  // repeat as needed
}
add_action('do_meta_boxes', 'remove_plugin_metaboxes');
