Default 2003 Civic LX Lock Problem

So I have a problem with the locking mechanism on the driver's side door. It would seem that the only way I can lock or unlock the door is with the keyless entry or when the door is closed and I use the power lock button. I cannot manually lock the door with the latch or use the key in the door to lock or unlock. So I had the door panel off trying to figure out the issue, already tried WD-40 which did not work. But I noticed that the metal bar attached to the inside door handle affects the ability to lock or unlock the door manually. If I pull on the inside handle just a little bit, I can use the manual latch on the door and the key works in the door. But when the handle is in its resting position, it doesn't work. Only the keyless entry. Does anyone have any ideas as to how to fix this? Thanks
