Rear door handle and noob mistake

[Jérémie]

Hi all,

This afternoon, I was installing a replacement rear door handle and I've done a completely stupid mistake, I've applied too much strengh while reinstalling the screw.
At some point, I've damage the internal mechanism (heard a "clac"), probably by breaking a stopper or something like that, but now, this is the initial position of the handle :



Luckily, the opening mechanism is still functional, just the stopper seems broken, so on it's own, it is not dramatic, but any idea if/how I could perform a simple fix to my mistake ?
The small rear door, the opening mechanism is behind the "gray surface" I could unscrew to check, but this is not the case on the other door and I don't see how to access the mechanism.

What do you think ? Something doable or I just "live with it" ?

Thanks !

Maybe the handle just slipped on install? Otherwise, if it's still working, you likely broke of some sort of indexing tab. You could pull it apart and have a look maybe?

Thank you for your answer.
I've removed the grab, and as illustrated in the photo below, it is "rotated", so indeed, I think it is an indexing tab (or stopper) which is broken.



But that part is inside the door and I am not sure how I can access it. :/

Remove the fold down table/trim cover, then you may be able to access it from the side
