Help identifying part for liftgate

Mazda CX9 Grand Touring
Hey guys, any help would be much appreciated. My wife's power liftgate to her 2011 Mazda CX9 will close, but won't secure/lock down without manually doing so. Taking the cover off from the inside, I can see the broken plastic piece, allowing the metal rod (Actuator?) to drop out...which i believe is the issue. I can find the whole liftgate lock assembly for sale, but hoping i can replace the plastic piece or another cheap fix, as the whole unit is rather expensive and not knowing how hard it is to install. I did find a used one on ebay for around $65 or best offer. I've looked through every part diagram i can find, and not having any luck. I will try and figure out how to post the pictures as i know i'm doing a horrendous job of describing. Thanks for any insight you can provide.
