89 Vert Inner Door Handle Issue. Advice Please!

I have a continuing issue of breaking the inner door handle only on the passenger side. It almost seems to me that the rod from the handle to the latch may not of been installed correct as its very odd to get into the loop of the plastic handle. You can only place it on the rod then when you pull the handle it only moves a few mm then the door opens. And you have to push the handle back in to get the door to latch when you close it.

Driver side that I took off just to look seemed right and went on like nothing.

I will provide pictures later today of the rod position.

Anyone else had issues with the rod on the passenger side? Vague I know but not easy to describe.

What it does is stress the plastic loop on the back and snaps it just about every year and im tired of it! haha
