HELP: how to unlock car door latch?

My 2006 Civic sedan LEFT rear passenger door was frozen and I managed to use a blowdryer and alcohol to unfreeze it.

However, I was playing with the RIGHT rear passenger door latch to see how it looked compared to the LEFT one and I accidentally turned the latch too far.
Now I can't close the door, even with my automatic key.

I tried shifting the childproof lock up and down and doesn't make a difference. The childproof lever is white.

However it's the latch that I mistakenly pushed sideways too far and now it's stuck (same way that the barb on a fish hook gets stuck or "anchored")

Please help!
Thanks
