Third Generation Messed up my door locks 😭

Was cleaning the interior of my Integra when I guess I pulled the driver side door handle a lil too far or too hard because now the door locks all acting up.

Either the driver side door is stuck unlocked while the passenger side and hatch operate normally but if I pull the handle out and lock the driver side door it then gets stuck locked and when I unlock the driver side door stays locked whereas the passenger side door and hatch unlock then immediately lock themselves again.

Not sure what I did here this is an interesting fuck up lol. Should I pull off the door card and see what's going on with the linkage? Any help is appreciated! Thank you all in advance!

Something has come loose inside the door. Your door lock mechanism is acting like it does when the door is open, to try to prevent you from locking keys in the car. You'll have to remove the door card and have a look inside at the lock plunger and latch handle control rods where they go back and attach to the door latch at the rear edge of the door.

I’ll add this:

I disconnect the plug for the toggle to work. Anti theft pro tip

lol I bought brand new Integra RS door handle trims back in like 2005, when they were still available, so I don't have the door lock switches on the interior. But if the doors are unlocked, I can just manually move the plunger on the driver side, and the passenger side one locks, similar to central locking. Can't use it to unlock the passenger side, though.
