2003 BMW E65 Door Handle Repair

[ron1959b`]

Good morning all

I have a 2003 BMW E65 and the driver exterior door handle needs repair. I had previously had bodywork done and the door handle soon started to come off. I neglected to have it fixed and would simply put it back on. Whenever I tried to open the door the door handle would come off in my hand. I have resulted to using the remote and rolling the windows down. I open it by reaching inside and pulling the door handle.

My dilemma: I do not have the comfort access door handle. What is it I need to do to fix the handle. When I try to hold the handle in place, it doesn't accurate the opening of the door. Once I have it working, I've learned how to secure it in place. The fiber optic cable did break off at the back of the door handle. I hope someone can assist me in understanding what is needed and how to fix it?

Thank you for taking the time to read my post. I have attached a picture of the back of the door handle.
