2012 q5 driver door handles not working

[Cunnin]

Hey new here and need solutions asap if at all possible. Long story short, car got repossessed and while in that process the recovery company somehow broke the outside driver door handle to where it no longer had tension while opening the door. I watched a few videos and found out how to remove the inner panel. Once the panel was off I realized I couldn’t access that outer handle area and was pressed for time. I then reinstalled the panel and shut the door. Now the panel is back on and I am now unable to open the door from inside nor outside. How to do I -A remove the panel again with the door shut to try and fix again or B-get the door open to start the process over? Any input would be greatly appreciated.
