Default Tailgate wont unlock

I have a 2010 2 door and the tailgate wont unlock with the electronic system.
I popped the plastic cover off on the tail gate and it looks like the metal arms in there are bent. Should they be straight ( besides the obvious 90 degree bends )
Anyone else have this problem?
I can unlock the tailgate by physically using the key, but not with the key fob.

The electric door lock actuator is part of the latch assembly, my 08 was doing the same thing. Replaced the latch and everything works as it should again.
