Our toilet flush button is stuck down, and the mechanism on the back doesn't appear to be attached properly.
It's a cable pull system.
Any ideas how it's supposed to be attached?

I have fixed it.
I pulled the blue plastic section away from the bottom of the threaded section. The 2 plastic parts of the flush button sprung back up, and I clipped the blue section back onto the base of the threaded section. I will add pictures later.
We had a similar problem with our Duravit toilet. We followed the instructions above, and after pulling out both the intake water controller portion, as well as the flush control, he didn't find any calcium build-up: just some rust stains. As a final check, my husband reached down into the toilet tank and felt something stuck in the bottom stopper valve. He felt what he thought was a broken piece of rubber, and after tugging on it with some force, he pulled the foreign object out in his hand from the access hole in the wall, and found a perfectly intact, but dead scorpion]2 It must have died just that morning when the toilet started running. Luckily he wasn't stung.
Don't worry, dual flush toilets aren't any different. It sounds like your Fill Valve (the tall thing on the left) is on its way out. You can do a new one with just big pliers & you'll need to replace the water hose from the wall to the toilet. $30 & 30-minutes, at the most, should get you back to normal. Or, call Roto Rooter if you don't do that stuff. It's common but not too predictable, every 10-years is a good preventative rule.
