Having retrofitted ambient light into a euro spec, among other things, I'm inclined to think your ambient light strip's tabs broke due to a manufacturing defect, since they're held into place by tiny plastic rivets, so if you can convince your dealer to look at it, they would likely replace it under warranty.
In case you want to perform the repair yourself, I can confirm just how easy it is to remove the door panels: pop a plastic trim removal tool in the small dent under the inner door handle, unscrew the 2 Torx screws that secure the door panel. Insert a trim removal tool in between the door panel and the door, and slowly work your way around the panel.
At this point, if you have enough clearance, pour some hot glue right around the ambient light plastic tabs. From there, work your way in reverse order.
It takes at most 5 mins to remove the door panel, and disconnect every connector on it.
You might also want to replace the inner door handles, while you're at it, since they tend to become sticky over time.
