Removing door actuator from closed door in Prius

i tried to fix my door actuator in my 2009 prius. However after I closed my door, now I can't open it from the inside or outside. I can reach in the door and manually pull the level on the actuator and is still will not open.

Now I just want to get the actuator out and put a new actuator in. Hopefully this is possible and if so how?

Yes I still have the interior panel off and the vapor barrier pulled back

Thanks

 

I'm not sure to look for that. Where is that in relation to the actuator? I used the the and turned it to unlock.I'm not sure where to look for that. Where is that in relation to the actuator? I used my key manually to unlock the door but still didn't work.

I can see the rod from the handle that goes to a lever on the actuator. I can reach the lever with my hand and pull it down but still doesn't open.

Is that what you were talking about?

 

So I think see the problem with the lock. But not sure how to fix. When I turn the lock outside, there is a small rod that moves. It looks like I didn't get that rod in the actuator hole. Sorry if the picture is big
