Door handle not engaging

I changed my driver side handle because it broke and it worked for awhile but now my handle won't engage. I have to jerk it a bunch of times for it to open. I bent the rod that hooks onto the handle to give it less throw and that worked for awhile but then it started doing it again. :oops:
Is it the shitty aftermarket handle or is it something else?
