If you look at these holes at the left hand side it looks like a clip should go in there? As my second picture shows that they line up perfectly

The pin hole on the gear lever and to the left of it are fr aligning the gears when you disconnected the linkage from the lever.

Sounds like the linkage rubber has shat its nappy tbh.
Get someone to try selecting gears while watching the gearbox inpu and see if the selector rod for that is moving.
