Well that's what you get for not just taking it out and shooting it before you decided you should tear it apart. The carbine isn't the problem... The nightmare is your lack of foresight.
Number one, there is no such thing as a field strip of any hi point firearms. Two. Hi Point themselves say not to clean it but every few thousand rounds. Three. You'll need to give us some more information.
How far did you take it apart? Did you use the handy-dandy IPB from hi point? Put an empty mag in it and see if the LRHO will engage. Otherwise the charging handle is the lockback mechanism for the bolt. Make sure it's on that bolt with the narrower end in because that fits in to the round hole at the end of the slot in the cover.

Those clips will move, you just need to put more ass in to it. Are you using the supplied takedown tool or are you trying to pry on them with something else? Brass or nylon punch and a few taps with a hammer will rotate the clips. Use a flathead screwdriver en lieu of a punch if you don't have the appropriate tools. You've already ruined it with an idiot scratch its not like you have to worry about ruining the finish. Get the cover off, reinstall the charging handle, and function test it again.
