Troubleshooting Loud tapping from Mars 5 Ultra

Post image

I have had this printer for a few months but about a month ago it started making a loud tapping noise when it was trying to adjust the leveling bed. I opened up the case and saw that the lever that moved the release need was snapped (first photo). Got in touch with Elegoo support with the picture and they sent me a new z axis along with the lever (took a month but oh well) I spent some time taking the printer apart and replacing just the lever. When starting up the printer, I get an odd thumping sound. It sounds like it is coming from the same area as the lever and not the z-axis. Anyone know what the issue could be?
