Was it the snap ring that failed or the lip it sits in, inside the actuator?

I can really appreciate the comments on the gear door mod, it would have saved thousands!
My airplane has about 800 hours total on it, engines and airframe. I don't know why the snap ring or groove it fits into failed, if there are actuators with ends that screw on, I would like to consider them. Anyone familiar with this?

If you're able, could you post another pic of the snap ring and the actuator open-end taken straight on and closer-up? Thanks.

Here's the additional photos.
It seems this is a rare situation. Any thoughts on why this failure would occur and how to prevent it other than using the gear door modification?

New Cessna hydraulic hoses were installed in January. Since then, the aircraft had been flown approximately 60 hours.

I'm not sure I see anything wrong with the snap ring. It looks like the actuator housing let loose. Very hard to believe.
