I believe the little cable you clip into the handle you have pulled it to tight when refitting

This bit in the pic.
Tricky but you will need to pull the outer handle about half way out roughly and use a small screwdriver to pop the cable / clip out and then open the door from inside then take out the lock cover out and re attach.
