As an update to this: I actually ended up drilling a small hole in the top of the housing through which to put a permanent rod that has some mobility. With a little wiggle, I can give that spring-loaded arm the extra push it needs (like I do in the video with a small screwdriver). This seems to be a totally workable solution to the problem! No more surgery necessary, hopefully.
