On the inside edge of the door there's a black cap, pop it off, there's a torx, loosen it a little bit then pull the handle outwards and pull the lock cylinder out, it's a tricky thing, don't take the torx out all the way, the cylinder will come out then there is a plastic bit that with pop out of the handle and then the handle slips back and pulls outwards.

^nailed it. Pretty easy to do, just don't take the torx screw out the full way. It doesn't need to be loosened much.

K I did the dumb ass thing and when I loosened the torx when I pulled the handle the lil plastic piece that pops I unfortunately push it back in on accident now I can't get the handle to pop out I think I screwed myself really good . Do I gotta take the hole inside of the door apart now ?

Nope, make sure there's a cable thing slotted into the rear of the handle before reinstalling the caps
