I assume you took the door apart for a good reason, like a problem with the DLM. If it were me, I would put the end of the spring into the hook on the L shaped arm and see what happens when the door handle is operated. What have you got to lose, you already have the door apart. It sure looks like the end of the spring goes there in your picture.
I tried to find the part in the catalog, but the picture is not detailed enought to show anything.

Check in the bottom of the door to see if there is any kind of clip or something similar that might have fallen off or broken.

BTW, it sure looks like the "passenger" door to me.
