Yeah, as long as you do not touch the length of the actuator rod, you'll be fine...
If I were you, before you touch owt, measure the length of the threads left on the actuator rod on each, if it's the same, swap them, if not, then use the new one, it'll be fine, it's just a spring inside, so it might have tensioned the spring a bit, but I'd more than expect it to be fine.
Just literally undo the two bolts underneath the actuator, don't pull off the bracket, just take off the actuator and circlip. Do not under any circumstances undo the actuator rod bolt or attempt to twist the can, if it cracks the paint, you've just pissed your warranty up the wall... Also the stop screw on the other side, don't touch or go near it, just incase you crack the paint, cause then it's obvious and your warranty is toast.
Essentially it won't do any harm to your car, it's just your warranty you might affect if you accidentally crack the paint.
