Exclamation The lock tongue doesn't bounce back...

One of the paint corrections that will be done on my car this summer by the paint shop is the rear hatch near the lock.

I would like to ask you for advice on how to get to the hatch lock, i.e. I mean some instructional video or a few photos showing how to dismantle it.
This lock opens in my car correctly, but the lock tongue does not deflect, every time after opening the hatch I have to deflect it with my finger.
I think that if it could be dismantled, then maybe it could be repaired/lubricated.
Because it's rather impossible to buy a new tailgate lock like that...





Since the license plate light lenses are broken, I found a set of two new ones in this store, which I will buy:

Here is a video showing how they are installed:
