Auto lift function issues - Philips 715 (22GF715/04Z/332) (Techniek Overig)

Hey, I’m Ajay Saini, a university student in Finland. I recently got into vinyls and purchased my first record player just to see if I like this form of media. I loved it but ran into some issues.

As you can see in this(1) video the auto off function is not working as intended. I believe that when the record shuts off the tonearm is supposed to be lifted but the mechanism seems to have been delinked or broken somehow. As you see in this(2) its very mechanical and I bet this white spring thingy(3) is supposed to have something on front that gets pushed back and raised the tonearm mechanism but I'm not a good gambler or for that even a mechanic.

Also the turntable would make a constant click but when I removed this(4) wire thingy from the bottom of the platter, it stopped making any clicks but the auto off function stops working then. Any way I can stop this click sound and still have the auto off function?

The model is mentioned in title and this website(5) has a lot of info on this same model, but if you need schematics it's practically identical to this model(6), and they have schematics for it.

Any help is appreciated, thanks a lot.
