Edit, sorry,

the arm should be free, on my old Jap- toy you could move it with the hand.
I didn`t check on the Landy but I don`t think this is the real problem, it might be the actuator switchnot working properly

The Wastegate is spring loaded, it should only move if the engine is under load. to see if everything works fine fit a pressure gauge and look
