The first thing I'd try is removing the two screws on the inside knob's
bezel, pulling the knob assembly off and seeing if you can rotate the
thumbturn 90 degrees while the knob is off and still permit the knob
slide back into place again.
That worked on my front door lock when I installed it and found the
turnbutton position didn't "bar the door" when it should.
