The 6 series may have extra gaskets around the door (when you open it) due to the way it operates…but once you pull the gasket away…the screw that holds the handle to the door is in the same place as the 5 & 7 series.
Sometimes the door may not have locked because you also have the “soft close” option and the door may not be locking when you press/touch the ridges during the soft close procedure.
Is this the only door handle that this occurs on? If yes, then again you may want to do a search for replacing CA door handle. A failing CA door handle can also drain your car’s battery…so be on the watch for any check control messages about your battery being in a discharged state.

This is the only door handle that works at all, so that probably means all 4 of them are shot. Thank you for explaining anyway.
