Trunk lock actuator not working properly?

So, this is one of those newfangled cars that doesn't have a lock cylinder back there. The only way to lock/unlock is with the button or fob. No bypass/get around inside the car. It started being moody. Now you have to lock and unlock about 40 times before it works. I was thinking a weak actuator. I took off the panel so I could get a picture of the thing and match it up online. While I was in there, I tinkered around and figured out mostly how it works and what's not happening. Except once I closed it back up, it started working fine. Did I loosen something up? Or if it is just going to fail again in a week or two. Also, I was wondering off anything was broken out missing. I see some spots where maybe some connecting rods should be, but those may have been for different vehicles/model years. I know GM loves to go cookie cutter, and I believe the body of this is mostly GM (looks more like their engineering more than Hondas), while the powertrain is all Honda.
