 Can you get the latch off to drill a new hole and feed the rod in the new hole?

The other side did have a cable tie connecting it to the latch already haha, I tried this, but failed.
Nope cant drill a hole, as it needs to slide in this track, its a small piece of plastic/clip I need. The clip goes into the latch, and then attach the rod to the clip. |
