2023 Kia K5 Trunk will not open

My 2023 Kia K5 trunk will not open. You can hear it click but it will not open. I have not found a way into the trunk as the rear seat releases are in the trunk. Am I missing a secret release some where?

There's also an emergency trunk release I believe on the lower driver side rear door sill, next to the rear seat. But all that does is unlatches the trunk like the switch would normally do, then the trunk lid automatically pops open due to the torsion bars. Speaking of, it could be that the torsion bars for the trunk lid may not be working as intended? Have you tried to see if you can open the trunk lid when you go to unlock and open the trunk?

I found this as well and it will not open. Just clicks with no release.
