Can I fix this by myself???

Looks like you knocked the spring out of place. Try to put it back in the position pictured above.

Some time ago, i vaguely remember watchng a youtube video on the trunk torsion bar when I was trying to figure out rattling sound in the trunk. If I remember correctly, this was it... hope it helps.
