Good afternoon, here is an update in case anyone in the future runs into this problem. Here is what was wrong in my situation, I noticed that going into reverse that I didn't have to lift up the lockout because I could just slide all the way left and up. After my first post I went looking for the white part that I thought was broken. The dealership doesn't sell just that white part alone as in you have to buy the whole shifter as one. While pulling into my parking spot at my apartment complex I noticed the shifter was really loose, I pulled off the shift cover and found the above picture. I remembered I had seen a youtube video for a shifter where they pull the stock shifter with a puller and to reinstall it back, one can just press(push) it back it. I noticed that inside the stock shifter there are two black plastic guides that were "loose" I glued them using Gorilla plastic glue and after letting it set for a few mins pushed the shifter all the way down and then put everything back together. I couldn't believe how firmer it feels almost like new again. My best bet is that over the years the shifter was slowly moving up till it passed the lockout metal tab when I noticed. Hope this helps someone
Thanks I appreciate it! I’ll let you know how mine goes lolI used this video as a guide, 2:12 shows how to remove shifter, but you can do it without that tool
