I broke the truck!

What happens here

The presenter unboxes the new Dorman brand tailgate latch, carefully opening the packaging. He then re-attaches the metal rods to the new latch mechanism. The new latch is then placed into its housing, and the two screws are driven in with the impact driver to secure it. The rod ends are ensured to be fully seated in their designated holes on the latch.

Goal: The new Dorman brand tailgate latch is unboxed, connected to the rods, and then screwed into its position on the tailgate.
