It holds on by two little bolts. Pull it off. I recon you might just have a bit of grit stuck or something, take it off so you can have a really close look. Spring might have moved something like that. It’s what I would do.

Its fixed now, the problem was the place the spring connects to the flap, it was bent so it wouldn’t fit through the hole. I simply bent it until it fit :)
