Default SG5 - Seat Folding Mechanism Handle is broken

Guys, my rear seat (left part) folding mechanism handle is broken somewhere deep inside. I can take the handle and pull it out as its broken a few cm deep.
Is there any option to fold the seat if the handle is broken? Did anybody here have such issue before? Wodnering how to disassemle the seat and fix the handle.

Thank you.

Has the button actually broken or just come unscrewed, as it is a separate item ???

Using your VIN it appears you also have the reclining seat back version as well
For other rear seat images use

Out of interest, your image shows you have both upper and lower rear strut tower braces fitted - should be nice and stiff for cornering

@Don Clark Million thanks to you sir! I had no idea it should be screwed I just took a look inside and found that the metal threaded part is inside, so I fixed it easily and my rear seat back is working! THANK YOU!
PS: Image shown above is not my actual rear seat, just got the random image from google.
