Hey KitKat, I have the same issue with my driver's side door handle not returning flush with the door after opening. You can push it flat and the door opens fine. Took the car in last week for my second oil change, software updates and for the installation of the water diverter/AC resistor pack shroud that was not installed at the factory. Part for the door handle has been ordered under warranty and will be installed when it arrives. In the meantime. I can live with it...

Door Handle Failure

Yeah I can just live with it for the time being and I'll have to take a deeper look into the service manual on how to replace them.
So I went and ordered both inner door handle mechanisms and replaced my broken one today. If you ever have to DIY this, feel free to DM me for tips. I won’t create a DIY for this because it’s honestly a huge pain in the ass and there are quite a few challenges as the instructions in the service manual are incomplete and don’t cover many of the steps including transferring the body colored handle cover onto the new assembly.
It took me about 2 hours and I could probably speed this up to 1 hour.
The stock coiled spring ended up being unseated from a slotted hole I’m not sure how the new one is revised.
