Default elec door lock problem

So i put new speakers in the front doors and now the electric locks on those doors dont lock. They switch works but the locks seem like they are pushed too far? if i take off the panel they move, so i thought maybe the arm got bent but not sure. wtf?!

You bent the arm.

Bend it back.

Simple problem, simple answer.

Next time don't go "gorilla" on the panel until after you unclip the rods

If the arm is bent, cant it be tweeked back or do you need to replace them?

It can be tweaked. You just have to mess with it. I had to do this to mine. I couldn't figure out how to get the rods off to pull the whole panel off.
