Default Motorized tailgate not going up.

I had some repair work done to the tailgate of my 2021 F-150. Coupler failed on my boat trailer and it hit the tailgate.

After repairs the motorized tailgate would lower but not longer goes up. It will engage sometimes when manually lifting part of the way up. Never when fully open.

Both pressing the key fab and the button on the tailgate don't work. Truck beeps 3 times and the top rear turning light flashes once. Here is a video...

Would anyone know what error is? Any help would be appreciated.

Perhaps you stripped a gear in the motor actuator. they have them on Ebay for $212.49
