Default Convertible top mechanical repair help

I have a 2001 Boxster S and need some help repairing the convertible top mechanism that just broke. I can see that the right drivers side hindge lever broke. The left hindge lever seems to be fine but towards the rear of the car underneath the trunk flap on that side there is a post with nothing connected and I found a spring locking clip just lying there so I think some other piece may have come off. Does anyone have a drawing of what is under the trunk flap on the right side or can guess at what the missing piece may be? If I can identify I think I can repair otherwise I will have to take in. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

To be specific - do you mean Part "J" in the Pelican photo in their wonderful link ?
I ask because the white plastic ball end can be purchased separately now.You do not need to buy the entire link
