Another possibility is one or more of the internal foam blocks, was dislodged and is preventing the lower-internal part of the rudder "tiller/handle" mechanism from moving to the left or port side.
As you know, the rudder mechanism is internal on both sides of the kayak, since a second rudder tiller handle can be installed on the right or starboard side too. So something that is jamming the mechanism sounds like the issue. You can use the camera on you phone, to take pictures if you can't get your head inside to inspect the mechanism.
