The item you're missing is a rod that's spring loaded. I'm guessing that's what pops the trunk lid up just a bit when the release is pressed. If that rod popped out then you've probably got a spring in there somewhere rattling around. If by chance it actually made it into the interior of the trunk lid, you're going to have lots of fun trying to find it and get it out.
